Only if you cling to some outdated and abusive
theology where a father sends a child into
a world to atone for sins the child never committed
yet must pay the price for the people's indifference
by carrying all the crosses ever made by humankind
to a hill in a garbage dump there to be nailed to them
while onlookers jeer and pat themselves on the back
for living in the land of Caesar and following
the way of the deaf and dumb and screaming crowds
watching the spectacle as if it were the most
important game ever played on the big screen
as those in power nod appreciatively off to the side
holding all the strings controlling the mortals
like marionettes who have taken the day off
to witness the extravaganza of their God's
extravagant love for them is this day good.
