Mel Gibson's The Passion of Christ
Your work stands indestructible and tall
For all the pilgrims of this earth to view,
Of faith and love a testimonial
To our Lord - Mel Gibson, Hail to you!
Your film will shine as an enduring star
That breaks asunder clouds and darkest night,
Arrayed against you pitchy forces are,
Opposing you,- for darkness shuns the light.
Your story Mel is awesome and so sad,
And yet one of tremendous victory,
You wore a crown of thorns too on your head,
And wore it with great love courageously.
Subject you are, - prey to malignant rant
Of pundits, media, and the high elite,
May God in mercy His forgiveness grant
To oligarchy and those dull of wit!
And all those pundits that malign you most
Are to be pitied really very much,
Have been abandoned by the Holy Ghost
And are beyond His light beams and His touch.
But we, the many, are profoundly moved,
And view your work with awe and gratitude
And realize how deeply Jesus loved
To suffer so and die upon the rood..
I agree!! I loved his movie, it had me crying the entire time. I am so thankful he made the movie although how hard it must have been with critics and all. It was well done. I love your poem so much, good job.
Love in Christ,
Marjorie
Written from the heart, a heart set deeply in faith.
Mel is indeed enduring much from his detractors, as he expected even while creating the movie. Still he was undeterred in his drive to finish this movie and must be gratified by the fact that there is much response to it--positive is mixed in with all the negative.
Very well expressed Elizabeth. I hope your poem generates much positive feeling.
