I might, maybe

After Romans 5:1-11

Asked the question, strictly

rhetorical, of course, perhaps,

would you sacrifice your life

for someone else? Well, it

depends. I might, maybe,

if (always an if) someone

was good, was righteous,

was without stain or flaw.

Asked another way:

would you sacrifice

your life for someone else,

like a rapist,

a child abuser,

a human trafficker,

a fraud, a felon,

a murderer,

a pimp, a pusher.

Would you sacrifice

your life for

a cheat, a liar,

a homewrecker, a bully,

a heretic, for the man 

(or woman) who cut

you off in traffic?

Crazy, right?

Well, someone did.
