SALVATION

SALVATION

Oh that
I would be dead,
saved from the gallows
by the hangman
my own executioner
and the torment continues

banished to a life
of my solitary confinement
I who consumed the word
drank at the fountain of the knowledge
lie alone under the blackened skies
looking at the vastness of this hell

punishment unrelenting
for my sin,
for the one who dared
to seek the truth,
speak of the unjust god
cruelty of mankind

how do I trust
a god of mercy
that killed his own son
the creator of evil
and hell
for my salvation
