see...my understanding is sweet

even if my wounds are sore


and God's Vengeance is to rub

salt unsparingly in each one...


what is mercy? what is forgiveness?

the lies of power-crazed priests


and rabbis and Zoro's crew thrown in

an evil that takes one from one's acceptance of reality


and deludes them into thinking

they are masters of their souls...


and can remedy the universal processes

as if they were an embarrassing inconvenience


the feel-good lies of rationality

that exclude the world as it is


sick and contagious as all of us

oh how sweet and sad the understanding


but how hard the learning...
