Gave Hope And Faith Poem by Sadashivan Nair

Bare cracked bleeding feet,
Leaving traces of blood
For others to follow;
Gingered by weeping soul
For destitute populace;
Walked on rocks and thorns,
Carrying heavy
wood plank on the shoulder;
So exhausting, painful,
Yet forced to walk;
Through way to gallows space;
Endured beating, verbal revile;
Dedicated to transformation,
Decided to defy the systems;
Then a militant for ruling sect,
Endured pelting stones;
But a painful voice of dry throat,
From the wooden cross,
'Forgive them my lord,
They don't know,
What they are doing';
Have mercy on them,
'For their sins';
Touched hearts and soul,
Emotions surged,
Strewed emotive scent;
One by one in witnessing crowd,
All felt the pain,
Love trickled from the hearts;
Drove romance to submit,
To his painful soul;
All eyes were red and wet,
Painful tears endorsed,
Man's suffering pain for them;
'Yeshua' in the cross,
Gave faith and hope;
