Description
I recline in costly robes with gold to adorn me
There you stand, in bloodied rags.
I am the ruler of all I survey
You are a condemmned man, poor and insignificant.
And yet.....
Which is the wretch and which is the king?
I screamed "CRUCIFY HIM!!"
You whispered "I forgive you"
What beauty of you
What ugliness of me
How could I?
How could You?
