We’ll go easy on him since he’s young
He’ll learn it is alright
It will be okay
Then
When he’s a big scary adult

We’ll squish him like a plump grape

And all the crimes of his youth sealed and
Expunged at the moment of his rebirth
Will be exhumed
Set ablaze
Held aloft
A torch
To light his way into hell
