The Sins of the Fathers

"And the sins of the fathers shall be
    visited upon the heads of the children,
    even unto the third and fourth
    generation of them that hate me."

Well, then I hate thee, unrighteous picture;
Wicked image, I hate thee;
So, strike with thy vengeance
The heads of those little men
Who come blindly.
It will be a brave thing.

    Great!

    Wow, you actually gave way to the generations that follow to death. That was a surprise. You are a good writer but you have such a commentary on the way you speak to God or is it at Him.
    Brave and bold you are. Great Writing Though. Be not afraid to use words in the way thine mind be thought in earnest.
