30617 - Why must you torture

N. Lygeros
Translated from Greek by Athina Kehagias

Why must you torture
your body
with your spirit
merely
so you can be visible
whereas
what you are
is already
obvious?
Why do you bleed
your body
even though you know
that He didn’t chose
the nails
they nailed them down with?
Why do you insist
that you’re faithful
when you spit
upon your faith?
