"Grace"

by Jeph Johnson

 

subtle scenes
choreographed for me
smirks turn the other way
I'm in it
but not in on it
so I'll wait another day
I don't believe
I see clearly
still risks I take are mine
Here, but for the grace of God go I
Here, but for the grace of God go I

 

I'm so deceived
by disbelief
I can't turn the other cheek
my innocence
is not naive
and my flesh is far from weak
they're not with me when I joke
yet laugh at me when I rhyme
Here, but for the grace of God go I
Here, but for the grace of God go I
