Kangaroo Court

Kissed and betrayed by one of his own disciples,
Captured and arrested at the Garden of Gethsemane,

Rushed off in the darkness of night as his disciples scattered,
Led away worst than a common criminal to a Kangaroo court,

He was all alone without rules or rights, counsel or attorney at law.
With or without representation, his outcome of guilt was predictable.

His words of defense were non-existent because his time had come to die.
The total words that Jesus spoke were few, but his love for us was huge.
