Raymond A. Foss Poems

Nothing for me here
not being one of the twelve
at the center of his ministry
believing he was the one
the Messiah the prophets foretold

But what now,
with him captured
tried and convicted
sentenced to death
upon the cross

Running from Jerusalem
into the countryside
away from the city of David
corruption all around

Darkness falling,
even at midday
Jesus dying,
the curtain ripped
all I see is despair.
