The Injustice of It All

                        Contemplating Good Friday

Connie--

     relaxing in a warm shower after a good night's sleep in a soft bed

Jesus--

     hanging on a cross after a long night of unjust trials and torment

Connie--

    thinking about the latest senseless shooting and the injustice of it

Jesus--

    counting on the unjust hatred of the Jewish leadership to accuse him

    the indifferent justice of the Roman government to crucify him

 

Connie--

     sinful, yet judging my world, longing for justice in it

Jesus--

     sinless, providing justice before God through the injustice of man

 

Connie--

      looking up, I cannot comprehend such breadth of love

Jesus--

     arms outstretched, embracing the injustice of it all
