Caesar alone could put a man to death:
That pow'r to kill all states frugally hoard.
Personal sin took not away his breath.
The Roman Empire crucified our Lord.
The campaign of distraction thus begins,
Or else oppression might be what one blames.
They shift the focus to our separate sins.
"Look what he made us do," the state proclaims.
The principalities and pow'rs confuse,
So personal misconduct we berate,
And not the systems that exploit and use.
Our sin comes when we too participate.
Injustice cries out to the skies to be
Redressed: That is how Jesus sets us free.
