I'm just glad I got to see the ending. 
I was presented with the carnations   
in my Sunday best, they contrast to the
walls in my prayer room, here in Port-au-Prince.   
I stand alone, citadelle stone cold, in
a transition, leaving my well dressed dark  
past; I've been damn near deemed Hugo Boss. 
My misdeeds in polaroids arn't my destiny. 
I left my past issues and angst with 
Ogun; the rage I used to justify 
violence is better used to crush 
wicked people. Redemption in the eyes of others...
It'll be a long battle.
