Symbol*

born in the old testament,
as Saint Joseph,
who nurtured the
son of God,
the carpenter,
His old symbol was
merely a
wooden cross

born in the new testament,
as son of human
who is the
head of the family,
College teacher,
His new symbol was
only a broken fist

* This poetry is being written on a real incident, happened in the State of Kerala, in India, when a College Professor, named as JOSEPH's finger was chopped off by activists in protest of a teaching on religious issues.
