now try to tell me

what I already know


rub my nose in the shit

I'm trying to transcend


our efforts are futile

a greater One reaps what we sow


and mercilessly gives it back

and that is our restitution


for sins against the Holy

and somewhere in all that hardship


mercy supposedly lurks

too late for this life too soon for the next


tell me what I've already learned

and bestow the gift of retention...
