First, sorrow.

Regret thy actions.

Lay thyself in a bow before all to see and be sorrowful,

Or, perhaps, just sorry.

Secondly, confession.

Lay all thy sins on display.

Hide thy sins no more, for thy mind must acknowledge wrongdoing.

Finally, amendment.

Accept and perform thy duty.

That duty as appointed to thou at confession.

Mend thy wrong doings.

Repent.

At least that is what they all tell me.

But then again, is that not what they told everyone?

And when you did not listen your life was payment.

If that is the will of someone higher, then I'd rather find myself burning in death.
