The 3 Nails Poem by louis rams

There are three nails buried deep in the ground
Three nails that must be found.
The three nails that crucified him, so he could
Take away mans mortal sins.

When the cross was taken down and put on the ground
The three nails was taken out of his hands and feet
And put in a coin holder made of cloth that the soldier would keep.

Deep in his heart he knew he was the Messiah
There could be none much higher.
He realized this when the sky turned black
And the look on others faces as they all ran back.

This would be the worlds judgment day.
As he fell to his knees and began to pray.
The nails were burning his hands as he decided to bury them
Deep in the ground, where they could not be found.


The thunder and lightning once again lit up the sky
And from the darkness a light shone down to where
He buried the nails deep inside the ground.

Some say the nails were buried where they took
His cross out from the ground
But who really knows - they're yet to be found.
