The poor, the maimed, the halt,
and the blind were dragged out
of the halls of power and author-
ity to the hollow echo in the chamber:
“If you want a hearing, you better
shut up!” They wailed their way
out of Ceasar’s palace into lockup
in the dungeons of despair and Jesus
was there with them from start to
finish in that Realm of God while
not being found anywhere near
Caesar’s palace of worldly power.
