Do you ever feel remorse?
asked the priest of the thief,
but there was no reply.

Do you ever feel remorse?
asked the thief of the gaurd,
but there was no reply.

Do you ever feel remorse?
asked the gaurd of the judge,
but there was no reply.

Do you ever feel remorse?
asked the judge of the executioner,
but there was no reply.

Do you ever feel remorse?
asked the executioner of the priest,
the priest then solemnly replied,
for what reason am I to feel guilt?

and there was no reply.

Maybe I shouldn't complain; I'm subject to my own spelling errors: "woulb"

I like this a lot. It's very thoughtful and the cadance flows well.  My one and only critique woulb be that gaurd is spelled guard, but that's not really a complaint about the poem. Very nice and well done!
