The Gates of Abu Ghraib – v2


The courts of Caesar
in that captive state
a beachhead of evil
in the promised land

Yet the people came to him
Caesar’s representative
asking to kill the Messiah
while a terrorist was set free

As if bin Laden, his army,
had asked the gates of Abu Ghraib
to be opened for Al Qaeda
that the powerful
would set a terrorist free

The people complicit
in the death of Jesus
sacrificing the Lamb
to set free Barabbas
