So You May Claim Your Vengeance (Bussokusekika)

Heavenly Father
According to your scriptures
I have judged mankind
I now ask that you judge me
And man by your holy laws
So you may claim your vengeance

About this poem

This one was inspired by Revelation 22:12 and Deuteronomy 32:35…Not even I am perfect…I am merely a son of man…There’s no immaculate conception here…LOL
