The Messiah

Advance notes: The Messiah original was published in the books, On the Threshold of a Dream, First Edition, 1988 (from the National Library of Poetry). The Messiah was also published in the book Sirens by the Dennis L. Siluk, 2004. And thus far has won two International awards (Editors Choice Award for 1988)) it was one of the 135-pome3s out of over 10,000 to be so honored.)) It graphic imagery must be felt, it is beyond description.

In ad dition to this poem being one of the authors most favored, it has provoked the most controversy in the past. Written in November, of 1987, the controversy stared at once; some of the controversy was between Minnesota Christian Churches, but after reviewing it closer, and asking how the author got the descriptiveness within the poem, and his answer being In a vision (1983), the controversy stopped (right after the vision, the author had written down the panorama of the picture he kept in his mind). Thus the author simply triedto the best abilityto describe the scene. The author also had stated at the time, It was so bad I almost started vomiting and had to ask the Lord to stopped the scene, at which time He did. #115 (11/1987)

(The poem: The Messiah)

Like pelts stretched from side-to side
On a wooden cross, undressed, alive
The Messiah hung, like a wild beast:
Uncouth, uncrowned, no dignity.
De-bonedlike fishHis body hung;
Lifeless, deformed: in silent pain.
Dried blood upon His ransomed face,
Eyes decaying, hardly seen:
Pours hemorrhaging with a gloss of sweat
Skin like mounds of inflamed tar
[like boils reflecting off dark shaded ice
Deep distress around His soot-covered veins,
A mixture of Saliva, Dirt and shame;
Ugly as sin, beyond recognition
[like open incisions of an autopsy.

Acquainted with grief, yes, oh Yes!
As the prophets foretold, long ago.
A new scene, we became redeemed!!

Spanish Version

(El Poema: El Mesas)

Como pieles estiradas de lado alado
Sobre una cruz de madera, desnudo, vivo
El Mesas colgado, como una fiera:
Grosero, destronado, sin dignidad.
Deshuesadocomo pescadoSu cuerpo colgado;
Sin vida, deforme: en dolor silencioso.
Sangre seca sobre Su cara rescatada,
Ojos descompuestos, apenas vistos:
Vierten hemorragia con un lustre de sudor

Piel como los montones de alquitrn inflamado
[como furnculos relejando la sombra oscura del hielo
Profunda angustia (dolor) alrededor de Sus venas cubiertas por holln,
Una mezcla de Saliva, Suciedad y vergenza;
Feo como el pecado, ms all de reconocimiento
[como incisiones abiertas de una autopsia.

Enterado con pena, s, oh Si!
Como los profetas pronosticaron, hace mucho.
Una nueva escena, nos hicimos redimidos!!
