+ The Crucified Humanity Poem by Jordan Legaspi

+ The Crucified Humanity

Rating: 5.0


The face behind the scene
was like a vision of you
The accusation of the authority against you
is every finger pointing to the others
The strike of the soldiers against your body
is every words of blame for their weakness
The thorny grass forced against your forehead
is every burden passed unto their ignorance
The blow of the spectators against your face
is every insult against their condition
The penetration of the nails into your skin
is every judgment against their poverty
The bitter wine that touched your lips
is every curse pronounce against their state
The metal blade that broke your rib
is every gesture out casting every one of them
The shameful death caused by a deadly instrument
is every hands that kills whenever they face
the other side refusing to witness the life-
the purpose given unto them from the heavens.
