Cast down
By brothers
Into the pit
Leaving him for dead
Opportunity
For profit
Gives reason
For a second thought
Why not just sell him?
After all he is
Our brother.

Conjuring
An explanation
For the disappearance
Of their brother
To justify his absence
They tear his despised robe
Dipping it in the blood
Of a goat

Feigning ignorance
They present it to
Their father
Who weeps...

Septsong, this is beautiful freeverse!  So coherent and true to the spirit of the scriptures of which it speaks.  To me what made this so palatable was how you brought out the thoughts and emotions behind the actions with striking simplicity.  Can't wait to read the others.  I am very new at even trying non-metrical verse, I hope I can do half as well as you!
