Play Acting Messiah’s Death

It’s difficult to be the Messiah,
play-acting his death on a torture stake.
Times like this teach us
what death means,
remind us how a man, sinless,
was beating from neighbouring streets
down to Golgotha.
A cup of grief is always as heavy as grief.
It was written that he wanted the cup
to be him, the Passover lamb.
