Born Again
I was conceived in this cell,
born again,
it was shortly after the time of my
submission
when I told them of
my friends, their names
what they had done
where they lived,
the demons were in my mind
at the time of betrayal,
then Jesus found me
and I was born again.
I pray for the one's
I have betrayed, and
ask for their forgiveness
even as they are dragged from their cells
to the place of torture,
screaming and cursing my name,
even then
I ask for their forgiveness and
pray that Jesus will find them.
For I have been born again
here in this cell, and
I forgive them
their hatred of me
for I am in the love of the Lord,
I have been born again.

Bernie, what a vicious poem. Well done.
