HANGMAN'S NOOSE

if I wore a hangman's noose
around my kneck
like a crucifix
proudly displaying Christ dying on the cross,
if I felt his suffering at the moment of salvation
dying at calvary
to be reborn savior
foregiving all sins
I would understand...
I would not wish to relive this
if I wore hangman's noose
around my kneck
like a cruxifiction
I would remember why he died
I would know how to foregive
