They brought him to the brow of the hill.
So that they could throw him down the cliff.
Do we do this still.
Throw what threatens us down the cliff.

No prophet is ever acceptable.
In his own town.
Or entirely respectable.
His cover blown.

They knew him too well.
He was one oftheirs.

Being too familiar is rarely an easy sell.
And often leads to tears.

But passing through their midst he went away.
And now we fear he will always be gone away.…….

Brought to the hill’s brow
They tried to throw him down cliffs
But we do the same
