The Cross

The shame
of it was despised by Christ.
The gift
of it, grace to our lives.

It was never intended,
certainly not recommended,
or even implied
to be iconically contrived.

Wood, stone, brass, brick
Embossed, reflects
Concave, covex
Building facade
Pulpit veneer
“Just ignore”
“It was already here”
“That’s the way they come”
“We don’t want one”
Catholicism
Protestant’s symbol
Condone, explain
Impious, profane
Inconsistent
Rid it’s existence!
