Thanks Uilleam!

And yes, looking at the story in a slightly different way invites us to challenge the values that we have invested in it.

Thank you, Steve, beautiful indeed!

It's a sad commentary on our ostensibly 'Christian' society, that 2024 years after the events you so touchingly describe, giving a toss for our neighbours' welfare should continue to be viewed as 'revolutionary'.

I’ve often wondered about Joseph. He must have been a decent bloke. This poem has an acute balance between the accepted story and some nod towards a form of radicalization. Fascinating how it has endured. A great thinking piece Steve!
