After “With a Blessing Rather Than Love Said Nietzsche” By Adrienne Rich
By R. Cary
Measuring my morality as a compass thrown up high
A directional needle beckoning my point of perception
Beyond the clouds pressuring gods assume interjections
As presumptions looming over my transgressions where I
Reside; this needle of truth lighting my path when choice
Becomes obscure and grey covering goodness and night,
Blinding and confusing my moral boundaries are tested,
Resting against the backdrop of my faith of life pointing
Perceptions living behind pressuring clouds of our justice
As a form of atonement living in this compass of morality;
When moral conflict arises in our lives and conviction is
Unclear, only in trust our blind faith will let us all heal,
Feel our paths through conflicted choices with answers
We simply cannot know about grey coloring our lives
