What ravens were unto a prophet once.

Does not the beauty they create or dream

Atone for all our ugly deeds or thoughts,

Even as the saints who pray for those that sin

Sustain the equilibrium that must be

In order that the world may not be doomed?

Eternal malediction fall on those

Who mock or crucify these chosen ones

And let them be thrice blessed who help to clear

Life’s rugged road of thorns for those who pass
