VICTORY
You were screening
a film about your victory
when news
of your defeat, your
complete defeat came
sudden consternation
in the projection box
reels were exchanged
and that
film replaced
by one so different,
one that dealt
with the death of hubris,
end of arrogance
and a way that slowly,
painfully
the sins and crimes
might be
confessed before humanity;
some redemption take place.
