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
