Redemption
(A lone voice whispers)
If only they, today, embrace this whole poem
Just like the Seal once broken long ago in Golgotha
We all have a way home if we realize as a society
That old control is over, and we all have the chance to follow the old words
Once given to Noah
And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.
Whoever sheds human blood,
by humans shall their blood be shed;
for in the image of God
has God made mankind.
