interesting revelation. often times i used to wonder if i really chose God but lately i realize that he chose me and that left me with little to no choice but to choose Him. wonderful...simply brilliant. i must admit though, the part about 'Daisy' kind of goes over my head. |

Jesus has chosen people called disciples, and this means there is choice from anywhere and anyone, so choice is made by everybody, and that means God has chosen certain things for his people. People have been chosen. People have been punished. They have been annexed by God, but the mercy is shown by taking them by choice. It is brave of this man to make the statement of choice, and he suffers for it. It is positioned in the place called Bethlehem.
The whole dishonour is shared because it is obvious that choices have been made. |

the editors if any might want to check the spelling of the last line... |

This poem does not question 'Jesus' at all. Quite to the contrary. Emily Dickinson was well known for her claim to Christianity. The piece is in reference to the Almighty and to 'Jesus'. The condemnation was to mankind, thus the title. I wont go so far as to say C.Charcoal is ignorant, but perhaps a bit unaccustomed to real poetry, and perhaps a bit young. |

superficial conclusion below. mind your ignorance and try, please try, to read a little, just a wee, deeper. |
