People don’t know much
And they have little self-control
It’s not their fault
They didn’t create themselves

A worm writhes on the broiling pavement
A maple lost half its mass in a single gust
Flood fire shipwreck and madness
Events do not punish avoidable errors

And sometimes you do know and you make a choice
While the world proceeds with no guarantee
Except the promise of suffering
So love your neighbor and love yourself
