Mockery of Men

Alessandra Rossi 2006 (Missouri)

Rhymed
If I died on the cross Bleeding from my eyes
Would they pray for my demise?
If thorns pierced my skin
Decaying my ruined flesh
Did our savior pierce the mesh?
Bring mercy to the meat and death to the butcher
Sweet is the vinegar and rotten is the sugar
Peace to those who kill the kin
War on men who kill the sin
