C of CRUCIFIXION Three crosses, one convict contemptuous, the other contrite. Christ conveys compassion.

6/4/2020

 
Chilly, concerned, Christ calls
“Come, companions.  Consider, counsel,
comfort, cleave, console, cheer.
Co- operate.  Crisis creeps closer!”
Crafty chum, calculating; concealing contempt
Coolly cuddles Christ. 
Corrupt coward’s conspiracy complete.
 
Captured Christ calm, courageous;
Countenance composed.
Chosen course – Creation’s cure.  Christ consents.
Critics, culprits cursing, chastening. 
Certain conviction; culmination – crucifixion!
 
Chosen close comrade cowering, capricious.
Cephas creeping closer; concerned, cautious.
Citizens clamouring, cry “Crucify!” 
Consequently challenged,
Christ’s companion capitulates. 
Contact confirms claims, charges.
Christ’s covert colleague crumples.
(Concerned Christ concurs Cephas’ conduct culpable.)
Cock crows - cowardly chosen companion cracks.
 
Clamouring crowd congregates.  Confusion! Contention!
Cheats conspire, Caiaphas conforms, Christ’s cheek clouted. 
Cruel crown crushes Christ’s comeliness. 
Chanting crowd cries “Crucify!”
Council challenges, censures Christ;  chastise cruelly.
Chief-priest compliant, conforms, colludes.
Caiaphas commits, charges, condemns courageous Christ. 
Congregating crowd churlish, celebrates.
Clemency choked; calamity certain.
 
Christ creeping, clutching cross;
 crumples,
                     crawls,
                                  collapses.
Cyrenian chosen, coerced, compelled; carries Christ’s cross.
Chaos! Commotion! Calvary comes closer!
 
Crude crosses cast; clanking cruelly.  Cynical, curious crowd converges.
Critical crucified criminal companion challenges Christ.
“Consider consequences!”
Contemptuously curses calm, considerate Christ.
Contrary conduct; convicted criminal companion contrite; changed.
 Confesses consternation, calls Christ – character converted!
 
Christ’s cross central.  Contorted, Christ’s comeliness cut. 
Contemplating, calling, caring,
comforting crying companions.
Custodial centurian, confounded, clasping  cast-lot cloak. 
Convinced, converted, confesses
“Condemned character’s certainly Christ – Creator’s Child!”
 
Clouds cover Calvary.  Christ’s crucifixion cancels corruption!
Carnal censure ceases.  Condemnation conquered.  Cyanosis culminates-
Controlled climax.  Closure.  Curtain cut.
 
Corpse collected.  Cell contains, conceals cadaver, conspicuously confined.
Corpse cold, constricted. Cave closed.  Christ’s carnality ceases.
Copious crying; consternation.
 
 
Cherished corpse changed!  Celestial conquest complete!
Choir chants “Celebration!   Christ’s Cross conquered Calvary!”
 
Christ comes, calls, challenges, cherishes.
Converts contrite;  controls cheats; calms confused, comforts concerned.
Cleans contaminated, confounds critics, convinces cynics, convicts consciences,
Christ calls “Come close!  Cleave, commune, celebrate.  Calvary’s conquered!
