My Word

 

I am an artist.

For years I painted for you.

But you didn't like my truth.

I was not allowed to say my Word.

 

I am a storyteller.

I told stories for you and your children.

But soon you didn't like my truth.

I was not allowed to say my Word.

 

I am a poet.

I wrote of lovers and the times.

But you didn't like my truth.

I was not allowed to say my Word.

 

I am the Christ.

I told you what was to come through my paintings, stories and poems.

But you didn't like my truth.

So, I hung on a cross to get you to listen.
