Oh Fortuna
Holy and angelic
prays and sings
base and irreverant souls
struggling human bodies
compulsive and obsessive
haunted and consumed
in dark and light
sad and joyous
bland and passionate
rising and falling
loving and hating
ugly and beautiful
living and dying
found and lost
rich or poor
man and woman
in the torrent
of soul and flesh
called to heaven
or hell
kneel
pray
time
choose.
