38053 - Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachtani

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi

Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachtani
he said
in a clear way
and yet
who understood
at that moment
what he said
besides of course
his people
because the others
were there
only
to see him
dying
while his people
waited
already
the resurrection
after
the sacrifice
which he chose
to live
so that he returns.
