He confessed, "I was a coward."

A word was all it took

B elief proclaimed justification

O f hatred and loathing,

M alevolence indoctrinated a son,

I ntolerance impressed on a daughter,

N amed as or bound to an

ABOMINATION

T ruth will overcome the word

I nsight will reveal ignorant acts

O f He who hid His cowardice

N ever realizing the cost of a word,
.
.
.
until His children were left in ruin.
