CONFESSIONS BY THE POUND

oh how hard (at least for me)

to overcome pride and intolerance


of other's shortcomings when I myself

am at the mercy of my own unfailing faults...


I claim no superior position

I know I've done wrong


but it is so entwined with what I knew

(or thought I knew) had to be rightly done


that I'm as flummoxed any other soul

facing all the righteousness that turned out to be


bad disguise for ignorance and selfishness...

oh what to do now that won't add to my error?


all I can do is keep as honest accounting as I'm able...

and (woe to my inner control freak) just let it be...
