D A Phinney - Some

some who had it were persecuted
some driven from their homeland
some brought low
others hung high
some shot on site
some who had it died of the knowledge
some were cast out
some tortured
some taken in the night
some were frozen
some burned
some persecuted others
few who had it
understood
that
everybody gets it sometime
