Flames fanned by the leaders
maybe a few palms greased
coins to instigate
the crowd to frenzy
crying for his blood
that Christ would be crucified
Standing in the mob
sheep being led by hired hands
focused on the way of the world
echoing the taunts of the righteous
whipping up their passions
insurgent revolution
not his unconditional love
