Poem: One Didn't

One didn't

Three men were tried for crimes against humanity.
Two committed crimes.
One didn't.

Three men were given government trials.
Two were given fair trials.
One wasn't.

Three men were whipped and beaten.
Two had it coming.
One didn't.

Three men were given crosses to carry.
Two earned their crosses.
One didn't.

Three men were mocked and spit at along the way.
Two cursed and spit back.
One didn't.

Three men were nailed to crosses.
Two deserved it.
One didn't.

Three men agonized over their abandonment.
Two had reason to be abandoned.
One didn't.

Three men knew death was coming.
Two resisted.
One didn't.

One, two, three men died on three crosses.
Three days later, two remained in their graves.
One didn't.
