Easter

My favorite part of the story of Jesus
Is where he is on the cross
And one of the criminals hanging on a cross near him
Asks him to remember him when he gets to heaven
Basically Jesus saves him from hell
This has always been my favorite part
Why is it so hard to find this message in Easter?
The colored eggs
The jelly beans
The chocolate rabbit
Eating fish on Friday
These seem to be more popular traditions
Would Jesus be proud of most religions?
Would he even be proud of the Roman Catholics?
I guess my answer would be that he would be proud of some
No matter what faith they believe in
But ashamed of most
Do they really keep the 10 commandments?
Are they nice to others?
Are they forgiving, especially of themselves?
Of course Jesus already knows the answer

About this poem:
Just some thoughts on Easter. I was reading my bible and the version I read didn't have the conversation between Jesus and the condemned prisoner.
