New Poem: crucifix hero

he gets condemned a lot
and
sometimes
i flee


but then
he forgives




he gets scourged a lot
and
sometimes
he bleeds


but then
he loves




he gets nailed a lot
and
sometimes
he dies


but then
he rises

I wrote the first draft of this in connection with some poetry prompts I was giving in another blog post.  I liked it well enough to expand it and declare it a real poem rather than just an example.
