Good Friday

  

consequences followed
the wages of sin 
someone had to pay the price




and so
we learnt a better way to live
becoming followers of Christ

then over time
we forgot all about it 
ignored the fact
that the human condition
self serving and dangerous
needs to be inculcated
with virtues 
faith hope and charity
compassion and kindness

for most of us
the cross is something on a fruit bun
we eat on good friday
good because it is holidays 






for others
it is a time of  overwhelming sadness
it is a time of regret and remorse
for the untold suffering we have caused
to each other
to our planet
to God
and we pray for forgiveness
