Have mercy
Give grace
I, don’t deserve a pinch of either one
+
Oh how they laugh, screaming profanities claiming I’m ignorant, they can’t see
+
Please give grace
Please have mercy, on a fool, broken tool, mocked and scoffed at the rules
+
At judgment time
Don’t turn your voice or fire up hotter than the sun
Have mercy
+
We both know there is no place to run and I’ve been ignorant and numb
Cannot blame anyone but myself
Not my neighbor nor enemies have helped
No one forced me to blaspheme, all my evil nightmare dream, choices made
+
Ashamed
Hard to pray, hard to say your name
Embarrassed
Can’t be upset or surprised if you strike me down and I perish this very second
Have mercy on this dog
Returned to my own vomit swearing it was a good meal
++
Have you been reading my prayers
Have you tossed them out, laughing like who cares
Have you seen me, trying again
Have you decided to burn me in the end?
