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!
