Not given to penitence
as much as to
the conjuring up of dreams
of the paradise paradoxical
whilst hung crucified
With nails searing
through the flesh
and each cell in the body
coming aflame
with pain par feeling
I can only admire
the guts and sarcasm,
even a tinge of humour hopeful
Although it got cast aside
as impenitence
By the world that never could see
the irony of crucifixion
Not everyone has
the courage to be a villain
Someone need carry
the weight of that cross
across the pages of history
unacknowledged for
the selfless contribution
they had in making
angels more angelic
