Realization

What would we like to see happen?
Who drove the nails into our hands?
Shame engulfing us like flames

On a computer screen we watch it
unfold and then drive off into the
Grand Canyon

The fall, how far, is the original sin,
we realize

Did we need all those nails? Was the
torture necessary? This is how we find
out who we are

Beyond

The funny thing is
          we are accountable to
           no one but ourselves

           Because the most
            severe judge of us
             is ourselves, and

             We can not escape
              the consequences of
              the karmic beyond
