Lets hear it from the man which was the most surprised man ever existed; he didn't know how to swim, felt into a stormy and deep sea and yet, he didn't drown.
Lets hear from him...


Poem Artwork

"I am a thief, always been a thief
and a drunk sometimes...
well, most of the time,
so I get a lot of harass
from the damn Romans intruders
again and again, they say
to keep me good and in line,"

"but I am a thief, I let you know
that I am a very good one,
horses, donkeys and goats,
from here or there it will be a lam,
or a shroud with golden threads
wrapping some rich departed...
dead people can't complain,"

"who that is patient will see success,
ha!, it wasn't go to be my lucky night,
the owner came home too early
and no wonder he found me inside,
with a club he bashed my head
and darkness came quickly, but not
before his belly got on my knife,"

"when I came around it was the Romans
dragging me after them with heavy chains,
to the prison of the Roman Consul
that loves to wash his hands;
one more and it will be crucifixion,
the Golgota will be waiting, he said,
the one I meet before, called Kaifas,"

"the crowd was cheering like crazy,
as always they do to a condemned one,
besides me, as I never seen done before
was the most beaten up man,
his back flagellated to shreds
wearing a crown made of thorns, but
his blood saying that he wasn't a clown,"

"with my best bravado, facing the crowd,
I said to me man besides,the screaming
bastards want our blood and we should
kiss our asses for had been so bad,
then the Roman Consul surprised me
by asking the mob, who you want to go free!!!
Jesus the king or the thief Barabbàs?"

A masterful poen Georg
from a story that has no end
Re-introduced by your creation
Peace be with you

When Jesus gave his life in place of Barabbas, that was so poignant, for it showed he forgave all men, and thus died for all sins, even that of Barabbas... I once saw a fab film about Barabbas, faction, but very significant....

This is a wonderful message.

Reviewed on March 6, 2007

An outstanding story-poem with a profound message: THE MASS IS BLIND, AND THEY ELECT THE PRESIDENTS...!

This composition guides one to awareness and strikes thoughts to free ONE from the MASS' HYPNOTIC TARNCE, ~ FOR IT IS THE WISE WAY THAT THE SCRIBE ~ CAN SHOW THAT HE KNOWS WHAT CAESAR MEANS.

I salute You, Poet.

In admiration,


Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

Riveting Mr. Mateos, we are all Barabbas! This is by far my favorite of your works. My words are not worthy of comment. HB
