As a general rule I’m not the sort of man
who thinks our world’s best served by putting other
men into jail. This one Jewish brother
who got famous later on, he said, I stand
with the least of you, the whores and lepers and
the murderers and thieves. Of course, his mother
knew who he hung out with. She discovered
that’s what mattered when the Roman cops ran
into the garden and hauled him out and strung
him up; shouldn’t one of them, at least,
have spent at least one night on a concrete floor?
The question outlived her son’s name on her tongue.
Did he deserve to die like some dumb beast?
Even the beasts—even then—got more.
Jacob Bacharach 
The Master speaks to our concerns as a our Quaker as opposed to Jewish brothers would say.
Makes me think, for no good reason, about Dylan. He does have a song for most things, although I’m not sure what works for a Baptism or a Brisk…
