Barabbas and Jesus
two sons of the father
standing before Caesar
the true power before them
Pilate only the proxy
representing Roman power
the crowd, the mob shouting
“give us Barabbas”,
a common criminal set free
a revolutionary, insurgent
while the king was sentenced
Death to the Messiah
our God, Emmanuel
