good friday..!!

it's good friday marked with the way of the cross
the way of the cross started
priest in the front, children, women, men
all fell in two lines, religiously walking.

people avoided the hot sun,
got under the shades of the trees
they carried beautiful polished wooden cross
(ofcourse not the cross of their life)
recited the prayer, sang the song,
and passed the stations one by one.

somebody was the busy with a camera
capturing the way of the cross.
the stupidity is...
it is a show.
photo will be there in tomorrow's new paper
glory to me, glory to me.

love one another as i have loved you
said jesus, our master.
bear with the difficulties of your life
that is the cross for you to carry throughout life
but the people carried polished wooden cross.
some carried sandalwood cross, others rosewood cross.
oh! hail wooden polished shining cross (not of jesus)

as the procession proceeded
there were people working under hot sun.
their skin blackend by the hot sun
yet they are happy, and kept working
they are building a church,
dwelling place of god almighty
but they won't pray there
because they are not christians
but they are children of god, i am sure.
god already blessed them, before he/she bless me.

the way of the cross proceeds...
you and i get under the shade,
but jesus is busy building a church.
