I like how you made the gospel message so clear in this poem.

Well done!
Use of the street (here) and the soapbox (hear) was quite good. I especially liked the last stanza that summed it all up.
My main problem was figuring out who your audience was: believers or the unsaved. At the end you said "you and me" so I took it as both. But how many unbelievers would know "tree" refers to the cross?
Overall it was good. Keep writing.
This is a stunning piece. Poetry isn't my strongest genre, but this touched my heart. I think your audience is clear. We all need to hear the news for the first time, but sometimes for the millionth.
