Found Poetry: The Godfather

[patrickbeverley]

I betrayed my wife.
I betrayed myself.
I killed men. I ordered men to be killed.
I killed—I ordered the death of my brother.
He injured me.
I killed my mother’s son. I killed my father’s son.

Your sins are terrible,
and it is just that you suffer.
Your life could be redeemed,
but I know that you don’t believe that. You will not change.
Ego te absolvo,
in nomine Patris, Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.

[qimissung]

I'm glad I found this. I think "The Godfather" is our era's "Macbeth."

[blazeofglory]

Poetry voicing the hidden something is a real one. And you did it.
