unintended lessons: gethsemane to golgotha, and back again

when jesus begged a deaf father
for another option-

father, everything is possible for you...

prayed to an unforgiving god
for a brief reprieve-

take this cup from me- not what i will,
but what you will...

and still died alone, surrounded
by un-crucified criminals-

he saved others, let him save himself...

my education in despair,
and the inevitability of suicide,
was complete-

friend, do what you came for.
