GUILT’S DIALOG WITH FORGIVENESS
Should I lobotomize my brain
Cloroxidize my heart
Ipecac my shame
To get a brand new start?
Should I drown some witch’s curse
Climb in a time machine
Set on full reverse
To get me back to clean?
No! Have you gone insane?
Nothing cleans the crud
Or takes away the stains
That is, nothing but the blood
Should I flagellate my back?
Scale mountains on my knees
Cry full Death Valley’s cracks
Will that insure God’s pleased?
Should I wear the letters A
through Z upon my chest?
Or walk the streets and say
Unclean, I’m leprous at best?
No! Have you gone completely nuts?
Nothing pays the price
Or clears you knotted guts
That is, nothing but our Christ
