Crucify Him!
There were some there
who could not figure out
why he was so despised
rejected by his own people
forsaken by those he loved
There were some there
who flinched when he was wounded
who wept through his suffering
who were crushed as he was crushed
by the sheer mass of the hate
There were some there
who realized he was reciting a hymn
“My God, My God,
why have you forsaken me?”
and who knew he was praying for them
There were some there
Who were not swept away
By the emotion of the rally
Who did not shout “Crucify him!”
Who could resist the mob
There were some there
but not many
not enough
not nearly enough
not even here, now
