The next contender
There’s a furious raging mob
out beyond the temple walls;
howling with a lust for murder
of the next contender for their cross.
It's more to do with feral instinct
or some cycle of the moon or stars,
than anything to do with you or me.
It won’t be long til the gate is breached,
and that merciless throng holds court.
Someone always has to pay the price
to keep the devil’s agents held at bay.
It really doesn’t matter who is crucified
as long as someone dead is hanging there.
How could we ever have a decent crucifixion
without a blameless lamb upon our crucifix?
It’s not personal, never has it been.
It’s just the nature of the human beast.
The only question left is;
Shall it be me or thee ?
