On my birthday

My Lord Beloved Supreme

Wants me to answer

A few Compassion-questions:

"My child, who told you

To swim in the sea of stupidity?

Who prevented your life

From progressing?

Who gave you the capacity

To decide your fate?

Who compelled you to sing

Your life's failure-song?

And who compelled you to stop dancing

Your life's victory-dances?" ```
