Must sins be cleansed?
First, by apostolic decree
then by nailing men to trees.

Must a crime be paid over and over?
Levy a righteous fine
but siphon until devil dry.

Must punishment be our response to a crime?
Spend multiple lives in a pen
and be forgotten by your friends.

Must inequities be washed?
Soak in sacrificial blood
then rinse with an angry flood.

Must…

Must it?

Must evil be punished?
Once by bombing devastation,
BAM!!…double points, deny holy salvation.
