Everyone Pays a Price

The act of evil does not go unscathed.
Nor will the wearing of a huge crucifix...
Protect a deceiver who is a hypocrite,
From receiving to them what comes that is due.
Intentions done do not erase themselves.

And a pain felt is not dismissed,
Regardless if a forgiveness is given...
And someone elects to do that to forget.
Do they?
Forget?

No one gets to ride through an amusment park,
For free.
Everyone gets paid for their deeds...
Good, bad or indifferent.
Everyone pays a price even to observe.
