385

[Raphael, 1516–1517. Christ Carrying the Cross;
from Google dot com]


CRUCIFY HIM
Tag him hustler, for soul's ransom
Label him scammer, for healings done
Seize him
Nail him to a tree awaiting

As for Barabbas the prisoner, free him
For wishes of mob must we accrue
Then in a tomb stash away folly
For such as is the mark of history

Now for limitless celebration
As a bridge we shall sell to angels.

    Definitely not the right prisoner exchange. Great use of the word list to tell a timeless story.
