Behind the cold hearted steel
A netherworld awaits my soul
My shield the only rescue in my hope to find the Promised Land

Bathing naked in his undeserving blood
As I fed the blade into the heart of his utopian soil
My dirty hands cannot be undone
Time only ticks clockwise

I’m Houdini chained with no escape
Destined for the day of reckoning
As I watched the tiny creatures eating on his corpse
What have I done??

I deserve the worst conceivable penance, but instead
You embrace me with your undeserving grace
Seventy and sevenfold you’ve set me free
Thank you, I am truly blessed

I'm not religious but speaking 4 my self you can beleive this comment to be sincere. A lovely write and most noble in it's humility. Talk about straight from the heart. It's more honest than alot i've read on here. nice presentation.

This is a very good poem.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
