Barabbus

      

"This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you, 

that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses,

Now choose life"

-Deuteronomy 30:19

Poised on the brink of Choice:

Life or Death

Birthright or Bowl of soup

Blessing or Curse

Hanging in the balance...

...Heaven halts and holds its breath

As again the familiar scene plays out

Man wielding the Fearsome Weapon of Free Will

The consequences of which

Have been unleashed

Unmercifully

onto

Mankind,

A piece of fruit from a forbidden tree

A road not taken

An Ishmael

The terrible tension

The tears of Time Immemorial

The Anguished Cry

The worlds watch, 

Weeping

While with a glad hand

We forfeit freedom

And once again

Choose

Barabbas

"Choose this day whom you will serve."

-Joshua 24:15
