Christ
As he wasted away
Said they know not
What they’re
Doing,

But I always
Found that funny
Cause I see now
This is
Planned –

For sin
Like deliberate death
Is abandon
By these
Choices

And misery
Come forever
Through need
Of insistent
Flesh,

With Earth
Our fallen
Dream
Made from pride
Unsettling

As paradise
Meant to be conquered
At the hands
Of hope
In vain.

– J. Pigno
