I think you've listed some of the main reasons for suffering in this world, and I'd have to agree with you, there are so many things, bit like this stylised, well presented post, good luck, blessings Roy

I'm really impressed with your poem and the stellar formatting into a perfect cross shape. Your poem takes all the horrors in today's news and show us that the cross of Jesus has conquered the sin that caused these things. Best wishes in the contest!

This is one of the most powerful expressions of art you have created. I am almost speechless. You used a dramatic presentation to promote the words you chose for this piece. It is beyond beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift.

You have named every suffering that a human can endure....and yet we continue to survive. I think we are a strong people to have made it this far. Best of luck in the contest. :)

The cross carries lots of suffering, doesn't it? It started with Jesus dying for our sins; from that day forward, we have seen much suffering even though Jesus made us free from sin.

I loved the many ways you described suffering. Very apt examples if human suffering suffered by people of this planet. I wish there was a miracle or a special prayer that could eliminate suffering altogether, alas, this is wishful thinking.

Great imagery, visuals and presentation. Good luck in the contest.

Is it not strange that those who deny God, Jesus and the integrity of Bible Scripture cannot explain how all the things the Bible writers wrote about all those years ago are happening, just as they were foretold. I do not want to preach, but there are certain scientific facts written down in the Bible in the fifth and sixth century B.C. that scientists are just now confirming.. Ex. the process of photo synthesis, the human body returning to the dust at decomposition following death. etc.

masterful poem covering the whole range of human suffering. I like how you structured it listing all the various ailments of the human condition. a bit depressing though. I would have written it more from a Buddhist point of view and perhaps I will try my hand at this contest.

This a beautiful and moving poem and I absolutely love the imagery of the cross and the idea that Christ took all of this suffering on himself on the cross. It brings the meaning of the cross out in such a vivid way. I'm not sure if you're able to make corrections but I would suggest correcting the spelling of the word "crucifixion" if you can. Well done.

    Thank you. I will correct. You are the first to point that out.

    I can't seem to make the correction. Dang it.
