utterly alone

Christ was deserted, abandoned
left utterly alone
even before he faced his trial
captured in the garden, Gethsemane
taken to the Sanhedrin, to the chief priest
utterly alone, betrayed
left to their judgment
the beating before people
and a kangaroo court
utterly alone, denied
left to those in power
Christ in the hands of his enemies
in this long dark night.
