The Heretic


A heretic is being tried in court,
the entire city is watching.
If guilty he will be hung near the fort.
While the jurers the blood flow are staunching.

He is covered in bruises, purple and black,
the crowd jeers as he turns his back.
The whips crack and snap.
He does not flinch.

Blow after blow he stands there,
accepting his fate, showing no fear.
When it is done, left is no inch,
Unscathed.

He nobly stands there; facing the jury,
awaiting the sentence he knows is to come.
As one they all shout, "Guilty!"
While I just stand there numb.

Later, when his body hung limp,
jokes were made at the corpse of "it"
One should wish to be as brave as,
This Heretic.
