The Heretic
The Heretic
This is a man
who died for God.
I do not know
the manner of his death.
Was he hanged
for telling the truth?
Was he set ablaze
for dancing in the
town plaza?
The others
did not want him
to be free.
He was not like them.
He did not fit into the pattern
they had chosen for themselves, as had
their fathers before them.
After he died
he floated
on the sea of bliss,
a lonely sailboat
drifting into the harbor
of eternal blessings.
The harbor's name
was Peace.
