"MARKETPLACE" by Gary Granada (1985)
The words of the prophet were simple and plain
And yet to the learned he sounded insane
He asked for repentance to all who have sinned
Not a reed simply swayed by the wind
And when the Messiah's turn came to pass
The Savior was cursed by the same petty class
They said John had a demon, he tasted no wine
And Christ was a glutton, with drunkards he dined
Their lines were not cute
nor their gestures or voice
They played with the flute
but the crowd won't rejoice
The watchmen had sounded
their trumpets to warn
They chanted a dirge
but the people didn't mourn
In Jesus's tradition his followers preached
The world's destitution
They touched and they reached
But two thousand years never changed it a bit
The old and the same marketplace l
We're looking for miracles, wonders and signs
For a marvelous spectacle we fall in line
For silver and gold and fine raiment and fame
As though they were a prize in a spiritual game
We're deaf and we're mute
and we gave them no chance
They fiddled the flute
but then nobody danced
They're true to their words
and their pledges they kept
They sang in a dirge but nobody wept
