St Joans Reward

The conquering child, martyred by religion’s audacity; St. Joan rides a white horse, eternally. Now bedecked in silken gown; of silvery diamonds, bestowed by Angels, she suffers no more. There’s a place for heroes and children; there’s also one for those who persecute them. Karma’s wheel never stops; for every drop of darkness that it rolls over, a spark of light is born.

"there’s also one for those who persecute them." I feel that this must be the case in order to leave any fairness or justice in the world.

Too true; I'm still waiting for the justice in the world to show up. Thanks.
