Torn to pieces today
With the remembering
Of how far we strayed from love
When the executioners came
It was with apologises hidden behind
The hands that tied you in place
All wisdom and grace
Had departed from the authorities
In that loveless place
But you stood strong
And as you sang your final song
Before the bullets hit
You had forgiveness in your heart
For all of it
Who was the real criminal here
A desperate heart led astray
Full of repentance
Or a system that could only
Follow the letter of the law
Forgetting its heart
Leaving so very many
Hearts torn apart
(Dedictated to Myuran Sukamaran and Andrew Chan
Executed by Firing Squad in April 2015)

I cried so much when I listened to the interview.. she drew parallels with Christ…. I just wonder if Jesus was alive what he would have thought of this kind of execution by gun point. I truly felt it tearing out my heart which was why I had to write.. this.. I just had to ❤ ❤ ❤
