Words spoken, No, shouted, from a death bed.

Following the pronouncement of having been forsaken.

Left alone, deserted, strung out to die.

Hands are revealed

Pointing towards a long-held thought-out plan.

Victor is shown as victim

Vanquished emerges Victorious

In this new light “It is finished” is seen

Not as the loser’s last bid cry of defeat

But as a new “In the beginning…”
