At Luke 23:39-43
He died in peace---that robber who repented.
Dread Death and Hell cried out, "His soul is ours."
But then a gentle Voice was, by them, heard
speaking---the Lord, regnant over all powers---
"Always I have the first and final Word
"over your spoiled intentions, all malign.
"That man trusted in me; thus, the right is mine
"to give to him full and assured Salvation;
"eternal paradise his destination.
"Of this, my Gospel makes full proclamation."
Since Christ's triumph, Death and Hell have resented
this unexpected, absolute truncation
of their tradition, and bewail their loss---
caused by God's Son, slain on a Roman cross.

May the thief in each respond
May the thief in each respond likewise and unlike the other thief that responded with scorn and contempt, scoffing and mockery.
