#88 (What Worth?)

Always and again Your child is confused by his siblings.

Have You blinded them Lord? What other force could thus viel their eyes? Or are they blind because You seem to be?

Millions each day, in the same way,
Willfully denied by our appetites.
I fear we are damned collectively,
And even the price of this page
Gives me chills to think of the infinity
It would have bought in Time's Market.

Yet so much wasted on One;

Give Your servant a chance, Oh Lord!
Let him face fire and fear!
Let him find his own worth!

-majnu
