A Few Kind Words for the Bad Thief

Omnes enim peccaverunt et egent gloriam Dei

When a man is arrested by an occupying force
Imprisoned by an occupying force
Humiliated by an occupying force
Beaten and whipped by an occupying force
Stripped naked and jeered by an occupying force
Tortured to death by an occupying force

He can be forgiven intemperate words
Screamed out in the last agony of death
