Forgive Me Father, For I Am Sin

Forgive me father, for I am Sin and I am here to take you in. Its been thirty years since my last confession, but mere moments since your last transgression. and though you thought all had gone unseen, your hands and soul   remain unclean. You took our Father's Sacred Trust, and through it proclaimed yourself as just. And, while children, yes, they will believe, **the eyes of mine you can't deceive!** I know what you did and you know to who, and I'll not let you draw the curtain through. Your crimes, these I will expose; For my friend, the victim no one knows. No one knows him, because he's dead. because of you. Because he bled. You see, he thought he was just a boy. Not some secret to destroy. So, it didn't make sense to him to live, because of what you said and what you did. But, don't you ever believe that Our Lord allows men like you to break these vows, and then disclaim and then rebuke a boy who dared to speak the truth. You watched as a child sank and died and to the Courts, how loudly you denied. But, don't believe that I am ever fooled, and my vengeance will not be overruled. For I am Sin, and I don't care how much you cry. My Hell awaits the day you die.
