ah, got confused for a sec, didn't realize you had two accounts. excellent concept. people tend to want to live the "resurrected" life (which is all good), but forget to also reach back and liberate those who are oppressed and are still living on the "suffering and death" side of the crucifixion. question though, why would God need a gun? and why the candle and different camera angles? this is a great poem and sincerely think that the visuals are distracting, taking away from your message.

i dnt no wat god u serve bt MY GOD is still alive...i mean im jus sayin

@gimmee411 if you're serving the same God that I'm serving, it's the SAME God that died over 2000 years ago on the cross at Golgotha (which was referenced in the poem). and if you listen, he clearly states that God is NOT dead, but does die everyday so that we can live on, just as God through Jesus did on the cross for us to have everlasting life... MAYBE that's not the point, but that's what I took from it -- a God of love who suffers with and delivers. But maybe that's not the God you serve.

Hetep and Respect, interesting perspective and presentation. Tnx for sharing, I hope you will do a poem on Cultural Health some day.

Live and Learn or Crash and Burn!

this would be good if one shot would not overlap another which make the poets words are running in to each other. I like the mysterious look you have going.
