incredible rain:  a pentaprismic suite

of floods and famines, flaws and fools  
 
4. flaws  
 
indelible stain  
               marks well the parchment of the careless ink  
that scribbles disdain  
               to push humility out on the brink  
high horses will trip  
               when challenged by a slippery-slopey path  
saved not by the whip  
               of him who navigates with fuming wrath
