Blind to Their Own Faith - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

These leaders, of the people
blind to their own faith
if they would have but seen
so different would that night had been

If they could only have lifted the scales
their power blinding them
Christ having lived out the word
even line, everything as foretold

Fulfilling all the prophecies
for the coming of the Messiah
yet they could only see
the crumbling of their empire

Violating the rules,
the commands of the Lord
to affect the outcome they desired
killing the Christ,
to retain their power
