One
Can
Have
Died
For
My
Sin,
Since
I was
Not
Alive
Then,
When
Stories
Told
By
A
Few
Grew
Into
Myth,
Then
Forthwith
Into
Legend,
Then
To
Gospel
Truth
In
Mankind’s
Uncertain
Youth.
Yet
Today,
This
Faith
Is
Become
A
Punishing
Wraith,
Haunting
Hateful
Schemes
By
Zealots
Who
Yearn
To
Strike
Another’s
Hopes
Down,
Because
They
Are
Alien,
Or
Female,
Or
Brown.
