Of Power, of Corruption, of Servanthood

The three in the seat of power
paths for each of our lives
of power, of corruption, of servanthood

Like Caiaphas, the leaders,
Pilate, the Procurator
the face of power,
in this the hinterlands

Barabbas, the criminal
the epitome, living as he chose
following the way of the world
apart from the law

Christ, in contrast
the king who would be a servant
giving up his crown
the lamb, going to the cross
