Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur On Yom Kippur, the day of atonement The Priests did acts to prevent God’s disownment. Two goats to the desert so God’s Law is fulfilled, One goes free and the other is killed. One killed for God to meet his appraisal The other set free for Enoch’s Azazel. This sacrifice, for one year alone Is repeated yearly in order to atone. Now we turn to the Gospels’ trial With an act opposed to Pilate’s guile A prisoner release this time of year And the crowd did choose with their cheer Their choice it seemed was fixed indeed Between two men, one would bleed The other free to run away And live or die another day Two prisoners did Pilate present One for release and one for torment The name of one is not his name Although milenia have given it fame. Jesus Barabbas, the crowd cried, “free” The other Jesus you can nail to a tree. But in reality they are the same Even though a difference in the name. Jesus bar abbas means son of the father But rarely a Christian will ever bother To investigate the original tongue From which the Gospels originally sprung. We also have Jesus, called The Messiah Who, in his life was as a pariah So Jesus Barabbas and Jesus, God’s son Both the same as the Yom Kippur run. One to die for the nation’s sin The other goes free, a new life to begin So once again, tales are repeated Truth is irrelevant and facts are cheated The story’s concept is really what matters With “our guy” looking good, the facts can be battered.
