can we become better than we are to be our brother's keeper, complete allow all else to fall by the way silent and constant is always strong words and action only speak so long my suffering is nothing compared to the innocent, to the guilty at the center of the universe you will not find me perfection finds fulfillment in love true martyrs pray for their enemies there is no fear of death, only joy a secret kept for the simple mind and the heart incapable of guile guilt is counterfeit and indulgent conviction draws us back to center there is no distance between us and God justice only finds fullness in death the eternal embrace reveals truth letting that which is higher defend granted mercy, we ask for justice can we find change in repetition progress precluded, madness defined freedom is to will God's will to all

Thank you, Andrew. Glad you could get something out of it. Humility for us humans takes a lot of maintenance.
