The Crucifix on the Wall has no Sound Effects

A crucifix

A crucifix offers no sound effects
Perhaps a tiny electronic box
Could be hidden within it, programmed to speak
the words of Us – just pull the little string

A crucifix

God nailed to the Cross, then nailed to the wall
“That’s ever so nice; where did you get it?”
Hecho en China by way of Amazon
You can track our Lord’s delivery date

A crucifix

It can’t project the noise, the jeers, the boos -
It doesn’t drip Blood on your Sunday shoes
