flesh is weary and soul

so tired of waiting for release

from this rotting meat

I have no strength left

but the Almighty insists on no hope

for me and a slow painful passing

so be it

I've found the hard way love and mercy

are not in God's vocabulary

but pain and vengeance most certainly are

so let Him take me as He will

("a brave thing to do" said another on his way out)

if I've mastered forgiveness through all this then I'll be alright

how about you O Holiest of Holiest won't you try forgiveness too?
