What I once thought wicked 

I made this from my photograph

The self that I thought wicked is my truth

What tortures I endured, the guilt the pain

And yet I live, though diffident, uncouth.

And can I now at last begin again?

The violent struggles of the gentle beast

Afraid of capture prison death and more

What i behold seems like a marriage feast.

And of my sins  they have not kept a score.

There was no way to judge true right and wrong

I searched their faces and the words they spoke

The truth I see and hear is like a song.

Who was it that burnt men at the stake?

It’s Satan who beguiles us to comply.

If we do our sacred soul will die
