Trial.

Goldfinch60

“Crucify Him!”

That was all they could say,

Revenge was all they could see,

Revenge for what?

Their priests could find no guilt,

Pilate could find no guilt

And in washing his hands

Removed his responsibility

As he told the gathered crowd,

“The responsibility is yours”.

And still the cry went out,

“Crucify Him!”

    Strong and emotive - great scribe Andy.

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you Michael, most kind.

      A fine write Gold. The 'religious' leaders got some of Jesus' most scathing comments. They were the hypocrites, not the 'common people'.
      Of course this does not mean all religious/Christian/spiritual leaders.

      • Goldfinch60

        Thank you Orchi, yes they were the hypocrites - those in power - nothing has changed.
        The ordinary people are ignored.

        Gold,
        I agree with the comments made by Michael, Orchi, and you!
        It seems that, ā€œThe more things change, the more they stay the sameā€!

          Thank you Laura.

            Yep - meanwhile (and also) the more my singing changes, the more it stays the same - unbearable! heehee.

            • LaurašŸŒ»

              Most likely youā€™re underestimating yourself! šŸ˜‰

              • orchidee

                Bet I can sing really! lol. Well, I booked 100 singing lessons. The tutor wore ear plugs every time. Strange that! heehee.

                  Strong and strangely "modern" - does nothing ever change?

                  • Goldfinch60

                    No it is always the same. Thank you Lorna,

                    I enjoyed reading this. Itā€™s nice to be boldly reminded of the reality of the crucifixion sometimes. What people were missing with eyes wide shut! Great write

                      I'm the ONE who shouted CRUCIFY
                      I'm the ONE who raised His Cross on high
                      I'm the ONE who stood and watched Him DIE
                      What have I done ~ I'm the ONE !

                      Thanks ANDY for sharing the STATIONS of the CROSS
                      Always a CHALLENGE !
                      Love the PICTURE ~ Very graphic!
                      And a real manly MAN !
                      Yours ~ BROTHER JOHN !

                      Thank you Brother, these were a challenge to do.
