He Died Nailed To A Cross Poem by Francis Duggan

He died nailed to a timber cross on Calvary
The one whose name and deeds outlive mortality
The son of God Jesus by men crucified
The one who has millions of followers Worldwide

Yet many good people are murdered today
Their lives taken from them in a brutal way
The lessons not learned from the generations long gone
Man's inhumanity to man will forever live on

The ways of the human being hard to understand
People kill people out of jealousy for money and for god and for land
Because of the anger of others many good people with their lives pay
Heaven on Earth will never be that does seem sad to say

Though the praises of Jesus by millions are sung
Good people every day through foul means dying young
The mistakes of the past many choose to ignore
And man's inhumanity to man will be forever more.
