complete live and let ____
can we fill the blank in?
without committing moral sin
pass by perceived threat

you do not think like I
when you refuse my belief
your family knows only grief
as you are condemned to die

this room has for you no air
your life is without point
redeem blasphemy shall anoint
you exist without God's care

God, my God, I will protect
as if my God, the God, needs it
my God, the God, will not acquit
your asserted disbelief I reject

were you to recant and disavow
your errant thought not sacred
reclaim this life you've wasted
and so spare your life, for now
