Crosses
what do crosses mean to you?
are they a symbol of devotion
to a man whose death brought
about the supposed salvation of
an entire planet but, here we are
slaves to old ideologies that have
refused to catch up, forgetting to
love as he said we should.
or do they remind you instead of
the times before him, when they were
a symbol of fear and punishment of
crimes, both deserved and undeserved
like the witches at salem who
died, also in the name of salvation
just not their own.
