crushed by karma

aided by my own fear and ignorance

God the Cause but my foolishness the Effect


stalled by freedom

(of which there really is none)

I must face what I face with a lack of grace


blame does nothing but increase the harm

surrender does nothing but disable the will

the will that is needed to choose


to endure all this confusion and ruin

or proceed with blind hope that grace will descend

and not be wrecked by delusion and despair


crushed by the grace that would take me where

in acceptance I'd turn my curses into prayer...
