Barabbas

[billy]

Where are my hands?
Where are they?
They're reaching for dark
chests.
And somebody is giggling.
Barabbas!
And my backbone is
squeezing.
I can't breath.
Take them.

The Three Wise Men passed
by
(without stopping)
after a long star.
On the hill
there was a town.

Merry New Year and Christmas light at all.
Thank you for your congratulations on my birthday and especially Billy.

and to you

the last verse worked well. it feels a bit out of time with first though as barabbas came 30 odd years later. maybe if the stanza were reversed it would make a difference. jmo.

i did get that votes to free barabbas were paid for, and that for pilot and others hands were tied, if that was your insight.
thanks for the read.
