A Witness to Process

(Artwork by Peter Howson)

All out of breath he was telling it

as if he had just come back from the courts

that He stood so serene and upright

denied nothing

and was silent when jostled

and didn’t respond to the words

What is truth

but everyone could see it was He who is the truth

So He was found innocent No

guilty

So all were on His side No

against Him

So He was imprisoned No

hanged

So no one protested No

one denied
