2. A Life to Be Forgiven

Crocodile tears
Painted on a face of gloom

Happiness for the sad
Forgiveness left behind

Blundered decisions
The aftermath of sin

The whisper of nuns
The falseness of virtue

Lambs slaughtered just because
Wool pulled over no ones eyes

Righteousness wronged
Lies turned to truth

Uncompromising compromises
A child’s innocence forgotten

The quest for answers
Knowledge tainted with blood

A journey without purpose
A life to be forgiven
