During my life I have often sought to conceal myselfFrom the justice that God justifiably demands.Looking into the mirror I see one who cannot hide,But seeks to hold on to my sins despite his commands.

To stand with the divine who never denied his faith,To be counted as one who despite fear and pride,Would never give in to the matters of this world,But with courage their distain and ridicule deride.
