Analysis of Forgiveness, But Only If…

Just hanging like a spectacle
And lonely beyond words
And seeing false religion strut
With all their venom heard
And He a Teacher full of hope
With gentle hands to heal
Not judging every trip and fall
But offering comfort real.
He prayed as if the Sky could hear
'Might you forgive their doubt
And cruelty based on ignorance
Oh Father help them out
But only if they turn to me
Like John with Mother below
And drop right now all hateful spite.'
Did Christ pray thus? Lord NO!
But rather He held hope sublime
That light would come and love
And grace and mercy take the place
Of bloody push and shove.
