12: "Let us lie in wait for the righteous man, because he is inconvenient to us and opposes our actions; he reproaches us for sins against the law, and accuses us of sins against our training. 13: He professes to have knowledge of God, and calls himself a child of the Lord. 14: He became to us a reproof of our thoughts; 15: the very sight of him is a burden to us, because his manner of life is unlike that of others, and his ways are strange. 16: We are considered by him as something base, and he avoids our ways as unclean; he calls the last end of the righteous happy, and boasts that God is his father. 17: Let us see if his words are true, and let us test what will happen at the end of his life; 18: for if the righteous man is God's son, he will help him, and will deliver him from the hand of his adversaries. 19: Let us test him with insult and torture, that we may find out how gentle he is, and make trial of his forbearance. 20: Let us condemn him to a shameful death, for, according to what he says, he will be protected." Book of Wisdom 2:12-20
How can I hear
this inconvenient Truth?
Who says my way
is not the Way He taught?
Who says the those
who do not take
personal responsibility
will be experience His joy?
Who says He is
the Messiah,
the Christ,
God’s Son?
There is only one solution:
A public death.
We will test him
with pain and derision
and afterwards
clean up
by placing Him
in a tomb
that God only knows
its location.
