Who says Jesus was crucified
in Palestine 2000 years ago?
No, Jesus was not crucified over there in Palestine.
He was crucified on April 12, 1980 in Liberia.
He was a good man,
who meant well for his people and nation.
He was a Renaissance man
who envisioned a new day for his people.
He was between two raging fires
which he found so hard to extinguish
and was consumed by both
in such a ferocious manner.
One side demanded: Change Now! Change Now! Change Now!
The other side reacted: No Change! No Change! No Change!
and they couldn’t find the middle ground
that was necessary to save the day.
Who tells you that Jesus died 2000 years ago?
No, Jesus did not die over there,
he died on April 12, 1980
in Liberia.
He died for the sins of his ancestors
who sold each other into slavery
He died for the sins of his grandfathers and fathers
who discriminated against their own kind.
Don’t believe the hype
Jesus did not die in Palestine 2000 years ago
he died on April 12, 1980 for the sins of his people
in the nation yet to recover from self-inflicted wounds.
