Not the leaders of the people

sadness in their hearts
each of the characters of the dramas
the actors on the stage
each carrying a burden
remorse, loss, regret, anger
wishing they could turn back time
to change the course of the Passion
to change their very lives

not the leaders of the people
stark in their absence
none of them in the plays
not changing their position
holding onto their place
each still denying the Christ
sending him to the cross
