Personal History

MCMXCVIII
Forgiveness is all that I seek
For my inaction while evil triumphs.
What has been done cannot be undone.
It is an obligation to wait, watch and pray.

I have chosen to intercede
For the ones whose lips are sealed
By the things their eyes have seen
Like the pope had done in Rome.

When evil comes again,
I’ll be standing in its way,
There’ll be no holocaust again;
Though there is everyday.
