Something smug in penitence
makes hollow any pardon--
shown in lack of reticence
the smirking, lazy warden
Bars of pretty filigree
with padlocks made from putty
make execution jubilee
and Justice weak and slutty
See your Jesus sacrificed
to make thin soup from bleeding--
you, the puny antichrist
true penitence demeaning.
