O, Jesus

ALMIGHTY JESUS

A Sonnet

By Izzy Sommers

O, Jesus saw the chambers of the deaths

Of Jews and Homosexuals and those

Of crippled bodies and of darker skins.

O, Jesus saw the Russians kill their own,

Their very own and take the sacred lands

Of Poland, Lithuania, and all.

O, Jesus saw Vietnamese kill those

Who wanted to arrest expansion of

Hanoi and even Ho Chi Minh’s domain.

O, Jesus saw the suffering of men

Katrina trapped, of dogs displaced, of kids

Ripped from their families and left to die.

O, Jesus, Why Tsunami? Why delay?

What plan is there to end Mankind, today?

THE END
