Would Jesus Kill Jesus?
Would Jesus Kill Jesus?
I wonder
if Jesus goes to war in uniform of bone, muscle, skin
with no regard for border or flag
On fields of blood marching
would Jesus be so distracted, befuddled
by cloth, color, or emblem
to miss
behind eyes
inside the heart of one called "enemy"
anything less than child, sibling, self?
Would Jesus, lamb of God crucified
guilelessly praying "not my will but thine"
carefully aim
(at the bidding of lesser princes)
and fire clipfulls of flesh tearing metal
into torso, head
feet and hands?
Now wounded, would Jesus
look into his own eyes and and pray
(as nail-scared hands above mount bayonet and pierce his side)
"Father, forgive me, for I do not know what I do"?
