The Anger of the Thorns

A vine of another sort
the anger of the thorns
the crown upon his head
his blood pouring down
obscuring his vision as he bled
nailed to the rugged cross

Anger of the world
of those holding onto power
new hope in the world
the thorns exacting revenge
crowning the King of Glory
in mocking ridicule
