SUFFERING HUMANITY

and so our suffering is just

the bread of communion at last


we all suffer under the strictures of the One

and none of us is exempt


and yet how common it is

to forget this reality


as we pursue our own ends

clinging to what we think


is "our truth" and second-guessing

a reality beyond our comprehension


that the One is an asshole at best

is  a reality we must make peace with and accept


at least we know right from wrong and will strive for

for what is best despite the consequences
