The Morning Star


The Choice

The Choice
by Mark Kaven Lazaro

Two accused men stood before 
Both were tied up by the chain
Which one of them deserves 
He laughed, he mocked, he rejoiced
For the crowd cried "set him free!"

I remember, I remember they shouted 
Crucify him! Crucify him!

Two accused men stood before
yet middle man saw nothing
Not even one sin of him 
He justified and he washed
The hands that tried to escape 

 I remember, I remember they shouted
Crucify him! Crucify him!

Three condemned men were hanged up
everyone was pierced by nail
Which of them is innocent
One mocked, but the one believed
For the right said "Save yourself!"

I remember, I remember the left shouted
Remember me! Take me to your kingdom!
