The death of jesus

Have pity on the poor old human

tired and warn and broken.

I do not envy such a man

to whom not a word is spoken.

Fallen from the mount

fanned by palms nevermore

his back is bent

his back is sore.

He will not rise to heaven;

it is not there,

so do not pity the false prophet

whose lies were made aware,

and though we let him walk the earth

we **** him with despair.
