So now, you’ve reached the end

Of a journey not so well spent

And in your moment of reflection

You can consider all your rejection

All your anger

All your judgment

All your disdain

So now, you’re feeling a cold sweat

Of a fear, that bears some threat

And in your moment of desperation

You may consider others condemnation

Of all your spite

All your reasons to fight

All your disgust

So now, you have a sense of right and wrong

Atonement that took far too long

And in a moment of sad emotion

You consider a different devotion

To one of consideration

Of tolerance

Of compassion

So now, you think it’s too late

To avoid your oncoming fate

And in your moment of contemplation

You may consider impending retribution

For all that you said

And all that you did.
