The Crowd Walked Away

I need to remember
the story of Mary
kneeling, accused,
before Jesus, at His feet
about to be punished

They dropped their stones
remembering their own sin
none claiming the right
to cast the first stone

All of them guilty
with feet made of clay
none of them standing
in judgment, any longer,
the crowd walked away
