Jesus and Pilate in Dialogue

[audiofool]

"I believed
therefore,
I spoke"
I slept
on day three
I awoke

by association:
guilt, pain, shame
a man by
any other name

I know the kind
of person you are
the latest Messiah
wishing on a star

you think your
hands are clean
a rock and a hard place
you in between

try to separate
fiction from fact
sooner or later
the leader has to act

"Here I am,
and the children
God gave to me"
you can be
top dog and
never be free

this place will be
my untimely death
where prophets and patriots
take a final breath

I've got a job
and bosses back home
on the beaten path
all roads lead to Rome

familiar with suffering
acquainted with grief
healed by his stripes
saved by his belief.
