OXFORD'S
GNASH?
Stripped of His clothes
Beaten and scourged
Crowned and nailed
Humanity purged
Made to thirst
Starve and suffer
Later two thousand
The road gets rougher
It's not disbelief
Or how they do hate
All but Him
They'll tolerate
Meditations from
mother earth's cultures
But the Word made Flesh
Their on like vultures
Ripping tearing
Masticating
Digesting to degrade
Then eliminating
Words of His Flesh
Dictionaries won't spell
But will gnash in their teeth
In their Word e-rased Hell
