Crucified Poem by Ayokunle Adeleye

Laden with timber
He staggered along
Thirsty and weak
For a drink he longed

Mocked by guards was the Son of God
The King of kings and the Lord of lords
But rather than make them perish
Into God's hands he committed his spirit

He was crucified
At the place, Golgotha
Beneficiaries sighed
And standing afar were Mary and Martha

And soldiers were confused
At his quick death
But doubts were defused
As a sword sank into his girth

He was crucified
And laid behind the stone
He lived to die;
Was dejected and alone

He was crucified
And numbered with thieves
Though pierced at the side
Still he lives!
