Luke 23:27-31 And there were following Him a great multitude of the people, and of women who were mourning and lamenting Him. 28 But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 "For behold, the days are coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.' 30 "Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us,' and to the hills, 'Cover us.' 31 "For if they do these things in the green tree, what will happen in the dry?" (NAS)



in a world
where life
is measured
in profit and loss
effect and cause
jesus barefeet
in humility
carries his cross
from the winding
street s of pain
tears and remorse
to a final journey
of the mind
far across
beyond the crowds
the soldiers guffaws
king of the jews
lashes of pain
on his back
criss cross
a tear drops
from a mothers eye
a tender pause
still a lamb he is
he was
sacrificed
for a greater cause
