you are not here to save the world--

you are here to be disgraced

you are here to suffer to no good end--

that is how atonement works--

to reason with unreasoning brutes--

to be a peacemaker to those who worship war--

to be in impossible spots and be damned for being

in impossible spots is what you are here for--


oh pitiless God this is why you set us here--

oh merciless God this is how you save us
