Not a royal entry

Mark 11:1–11 

Our cloaks did not
camouflage the donkey,
nor transform it to
a stately horse.

Their branches did not
camouflage the dusty road,
nor transform it to
a path of gold.

The hosannahs did not
camouflage the crowd,
nor transform them into
honoured dignitaries.

The hosannahs did not
camouflage the rabbi,
nor transform him into
a king.
