What I Have Written
The words of the governor now says it all.
It appears that, in the governor's heart,
there lies a 'Me Moment' that he cannot escape.
There is so much to be captured from this
historic moment, but I was arrested by this one.
Can you feel the emotions of Governor Pilate
expressed in the frustration that says,
"I have had enough!"? "I have handed over
a faultless man now condemned to die as
the worst of criminals. Enough, I say!"
"Neither I nor the king found fault in him.
I have washed my hands of this man, but I still
feel guilty. And you come to me with your religious
trivialities, requesting that I alter what I have written!
Away from me! What I have written, I have written!"
