William Donovan Poet Free verse

I Did a Bad Thing

I did a bad thing for a good cause.
   Put that in my ledger and calculate
   the bottom line. Am I in the black
   or red? Am I going to heaven or hell?

   I did a good thing for a bad cause.
   Good intentions build a road to hell.
   Jesus Christ, I think You know Lucifer.
   Talk, decide and put me where I belong.
