Cold cruel calculation
leads to calcification.

Consider confession
full and forthright as you might

Have described your honor
once upon a time in time

What you purport to protect
chose long ago to defect

Innocence finds her strength
will not stand for treachery

She turns to sun, toward One
who holds her in high honor

Who welcomes wounded child,
who requires now what's due

And who would welcome you
with open arms if only

You set aside all charm, cast
away your fear and listen

to the heart clearly beat, beat
blasphemy, cyclical shame

Not through shadowed strategy
but with true simplicity.

The grace of God and angels
will go with you when you do.
