Apology
not good enough
Intention
still to blame
The road to hell
left burning red
its deviance
in flames
Excuses
rolling off the tongue
with lie
compounding lie
A higher power
judgment bound
the devil
— in denial

Loved this poem with a famous name. It takes Milton a little further down the road.
Thanks Soren, I hope he approves.
Your poem reminded me of the unrest now taking place in my once beautiful country. Difficult to know who is telling the truth and who is telling the lies. Very nicely penned Kurt. Happy Saturday.
Thanks Cassie.
