Two Methods

Title:     Two Methods
Author: Ambrose Bierce [More Titles by Bierce]

To bucks and ewes by the Good Shepherd fed
The Priest delivers masses for the dead,
And even from estrays outside the fold
Death for the masses he would not withhold.
The Parson, loth alike to free or kill,
Forsakes the souls already on the grill,
And, God's prerogative of mercy shamming,
Spares living sinners for a harder damning.

[The end]
Ambrose Bierce's poem: Two Methods
