The three in the seat of power
paths for each of our lives
of power, of corruption, of servanthood
Like Caiaphas, the leaders,
Pilate, the Procurator
the face of power,
in this the hinterlands
Barabbas, the criminal
the epitome, living as he chose
following the way of the world
apart from the law
Christ, in contrast
the king who would be a servant
giving up his crown
the lamb, going to the cross
