Read the written poem
Why?
The whipped-up crowd cries:
“Crucify!”
Why?
“Crucify!”
The Roman Prefect tries
to stem the hounds, the baying,

“Why?
What crime? I do not find him
Guilty. I …”
still
“Crucify!” is all their cry.
“… will have him flogged.

“Crucify!” they louder cry.
“…. do hereby wash my hands.
“I … crucify your king.
Let him be led away to die.
But tell me …
truthfully, now tell me …
Why?”
Matthew 27
