Murderers’ Humility


By Pavel Chichikov

The burning of adrenalin

Soldiers' liquor, hunters' bane

Now will God defend His son

Though killers trample on the scene

Epiphany that never was

Child of grace already gone

To be again before the cause

To hear the teaching of a thorn

As if they could have searched the sky

Stabbed the morning through an eye –

Now will God defend His son,

Killers' master, one by one

Can murder slip into His sleeves

With arms appareled in the grave?

Something that will never be:

A murderers' epiphany
