Keep the Crown For Grace

While men their last cards play
Or at a fast pace do their relay
Or attempt to bear life’s mace,
They should The Crown keep for Grace:
A sine qua non of life’s Race,
Which Grace to Heavens we trace
But holder of a Here-on-Earth Space;
For even with our riders’ hearts
Misgivings sneak into our carts

And like sores start festering 
On discouraged faces registering …

And how does one handle such case,
The crown wrongly withheld from Grace?
