so it
is true:
he’s dead.

we didn’t
believe.
we couldn’t.

and now
it is
finished.

we are finished.

darkness.
despair.
the hopes
of a thousand generations
finished.

a dead
messiah
is a
failed messiah so they say.
What shame.

and now
we are finished.

we healed
we preached
about
the fresh reign of Yahweh and
new way.

i gave up nets.
i gave up dad.
and for
what? a dead messiah on
a cross!

and now
it is finished.

the hope of temple worship
is finished

the hope of a Jewish king
is finished

the hope of crushed enemies
is finished

the hope of a new kingdom
is finished

Selah

now I
return
back to
galilee to join papa
fishing.

now we
hide from
Rome for
we claimed Jesus as Lord, not
Caesar.

and now
we are finished.
