I never believed

life would be so hard

that no dicy blend

of selfless will

and anguished acquiescence

would fail to guide a soul right


but that is the way we find it

we have no control over anything

except our next move and even

that choice is subject to negation


I wasted a life living in the delusion

of a good forgiving god when all there was

was a great leveling and those left standing

would wish themselves dead
