Punishment

Punishment
And though I myself was innocent and deserved no such punishment
I was willing to be accounted and archived for the tribulation of the others
For when I was at the hands of men of God, they showed me no mercy
But it was the witches and the sinners that loved me.
Be it god or devil, physician or priest they also must atone
For that which comes from men is orchestrated by the divine and the ungodly  
It is though the ignorance in righteousness that I am sentenced to death
By those that claim to be the messengers of the most high.
Therefore it is their manifestation and imagination that sees me as a problem  
For the devil cannot open the eyes of the blind no matter how righteous they are
 I myself am examined unjustly for crimes I did not commit
But when one as innocent as I am disgraced by those that call themselves saints
Then I confess that my only sin is that of being born  
And if it is sin to be born, then it is my undoing, and I accept my punishment.
