Many thanks to a chap named Michael for supplying this poem suitable
for the Good Friday season.


                            ...NAILS...

                Rusted and discarded in the ground,
                    this iron crusted nail,
                found.

                Laying still ,
                    this wooden ember,
                justly,
                    we people still remember.

                    Three wooden crosses,
                burn in the memories
                    recount all the losses....

                The hammer hit and pound
                    driving the nails deeper
                rocks echo the sound.

                Mercy and tears
                    from each side,
                The Man in the middle
                    had nothing to hide.

                Three days two morn,
                    Don't cry for me,
                I'll rise in the morning,
                    you'll see.

                Gambling soldiers Roman
                    you'll be looking for me,
                soon in two mornings...

                Bury me,
                    deep in the Earth 
                Bury me deep,
                    you'll be witness to a new birth.

                For two thousand years
                    people will say
                Jesus the answer
                    he is  the Way.
