Citizens in the Hands of a Vulgar Clod

Collect that blood in a cup,

And pour it on the fallow ground of useless sorrow.

 

The way to redeem the horrid

(And the heart)

Is to find the blessing in the scourge.

 

The blessing in the scourge. Say it again.

 

The unredeemed blood of sorrow

Disrespects the Trickster

 

By letting him win without a fight.
