Establishment challenger
Confronter extraordinaire
In a call for justice
That backfired on me.
Baptising forerunner
Who set him on his way
Now silenced behind bars
With doubts creeping up on me.
Health restored; sight back;
The demon-possessed freed;
Prophecy fulfilled
But what of me?
Synagogue scroll in action
Post-Capernaum
But prisoners still inside
Including me.
One last word about my cousin:
Violent hatred
Will come his way too
But certainly not from me.
