withholding bread
i was too slow
to die to self,
and so life slew
me a la carte.
i was too lax
justice to give:
revenge with swift
swords pierced my heart.
pity i gave
that purchased scorn;
impatience earned
me gross distrust.
my lack of love
brought me disdain;
withholding bread
leaves me dry crust.
