Then He went

Into the Temple,

And chased

The moneychangers out,

And overturned the seats

Of those who sold doves.Matthew 21:12-13

The lame,

And halt,

Were welcomed in instead,

And He healed

Everyone who knew

They needed to be healed,Matthew 21:14

While the hearts of those

Whose minds were filled

With avarice,

And greed,Luke 11:39-41

Prowled around

The outside,

Waiting for

An opportunity,

To pounce.Matthew 21:15-16Matthew 26:1-5

But that,

Was yesterday.

Today,

The Lord had something

Rather harsh to say,

To a fig tree?

"Now in the morning

As he returned

Into the city,

He hungered.

And when he saw a fig tree

In the way,

He came to it,

And found nothing thereon,

But leaves only,

And said unto it,

'Let no fruit

Grow on thee

Henceforward for ever.'

And presently

The fig tree

Withered away.

And when the disciples

Saw it,

They marvelled,

Saying,

'How soon

Is the fig tree

Withered away!' "Matthew 21:18-20

Why,

Pray tell,
