I do believe God favors the wicked child


while we in our sufferings endure scanty blessings

the wicked run riot with their selfishness


and rarely does anything happen to stop them


but they are merely mortal

and one day their "luck" will run out


but not until so much harm is done

life is not worth anything to anybody?


if God and His angels rejoice that one stray lamb

return to the fold


then what wisdom is that? does the One truly think

gratitude is uppermost in the minds of the evil?

but then if anyone can punish any presumption (including


what I've displayed in this writing) trust the Last Word to fall


even on these privileged evil who think the universe

serves them and them alone


some plan fulfilled and all of us the pawns...
