JOHN THE BAPTIST
Patron saint of the so many
who have been silenced -
because they spoke up.
Thrown into a dungeon down
below while people partied
and danced up above.
He spent his time wondering
who Jesus was and would he
be silenced just like he was.
“Off with his head!” John was
silenced for good till his head came
in on a platter for one last scream.
