CHRIST LIKE
I'm pinned through wrists
to the wooden X
with these dirty needles.
I'm blinded by the blood
caused from my
crown of razors.
Like Christ I'm pierced
below the ribs.
By this spear
I've built from sin.
Though I'll never be
as strong as him.
So I rot behind this stone.
My temple stands no chance
against
this gasoline and flame.
A carousel with
every turn
distorts more a crippled faith.
Like Christ I'm forced
to carry shame.
So heavy on my heart
it weighs.
Though as he rose.
On the ground I stay.
Fused within the cold.
