5d
yesterday
a peacetime king
riding a donkey
entered the city
the people cheered
victory palms waved

today
a prophet
in the temple
that holy place
proclaiming truth
overturning tables
scattering the market
"my house shall be
a house of prayer
but you have made it
a bandits' den"
dodgy politicians'
invisible clothes
warlords'
justification
abusers', exploiters'
power base
my?

and tomorrow?
