THEY STORMED THE CITY ON A SUNDAY


Festival madness...
Charged with excitement...

"Stand down! Stand down!" could be heard all around the city's walls as Rome's elite army of one kept the peace.

They came in through the south side entrance led by The One... he was riding a donkey... it just made the crowd even more ecstatic!!

The road was filled with palm brances- no red carpets here. People were paving a different kind of street... this was the "red carpet" of the poor, the downtrodden... the outcast and excluded... this red carpet was paved with palm branches and worn out clothing.

He looked upon the crowd in its festive merriment and looked upon the trail of palms they had paved for him. It looked like a red carpet...

blood stained palm leaves
crucifixion was coming
time was running out
Rome's breathing just got heavier
Sweat beads rolling
What comes next Father?
Ceasar knows I'm here...
I can't believe that I actually came to this place...

to die? please, let it be worth something....
