Voter Recount

If you could vote to set Christ free
to prevent an awful tragedy
Would you stand against a wrong
or with the wild and crazy throng?
None knew then what we know now
but all votes count though we don’t know how
If you had to between these two men choose
would a Jew dare be against the Jews?
Or would a Roman fail to follow Rome
if it might cost him house and home?
Pilate said he’d let one go
then felt which way the wind would blow
Though Barabbas won when the votes were counted
The guilty released and the innocent mounted
upon a cross, upon a hill
But what counts with God is the Human will
For when the election and voting’s done
God will judge the whole world, one by one. -id
