No cries of hosanna
no hail to the king
palm boughs not waving
no sound of singing
greeting the Lord
Shouts and jeers
“crucify him,” “blasphemy”
when he spoke the truth
The crowds now taunting him
when he carried the cross to the skull
Angry and confused
the people as Christ walked by
the struggle to carry the cross palpable
going to be crucified
on this day that Jesus died
