He gave the book the title: “After
the Madness.”
What happens after isn’t laughter,
but sadness.
He had a title once, and power,
begrudging
towards the men at whom he’d glower,
while judging.
Now he has done, removed and idle,
time,
his life has gained a supertitle:
crime.
Although religion talks about
redemption,
He will not have, you should not doubt,
exemption
from doom society demands.
Remission
of sins is in God’s hands;
excision
is what the law of man insists.
not pretty,
for man believes that God exists,
not pity.
Outstanding writer, truly remarkable, Thanks for sharing all the very best Jon

Interesting tale, and very poetically told as usual! My guess would be that he's better placed to carry out his old job than before. I'd hope he now appreciates more than previously the imperfection of man. Thanks for the poem and the view. jim. (Ps thanks for the piece on salvation. Still to get back to you on that!)
