Tell me, Saul...

Tell me, Saul

Did you witness the stoning?

Hear Stephen’s loud cries

and moaning,

”Do not hold this sin against them.”

Were you moved or

did you cover your ears

and join in?

Tell me, Saul

Were you there at the very end

when he fell to his knees,

when he needed a friend,

when they instigated,

stirred up and lied?

At their hands he suffered

and died...

Tell me, Saul

You watched life fade away;

you stood by,

but had nothing to say:

Aloof in your front row seat

as they laid their cloaks

at your feet,

and you consented...
