Begging for It

Begging for It

We often
wonder,
too late
in the game,

just how
all our plans
are going
to work out.

If
things
don't
go

100%,
someone
will have
to pay

for letting
the light
in
to illuminate

the shadow
of
that
darkness.

Who
is
beyond
sacrifice?

Whose whole being
is not
in the pathway
of the estate?

Who is
beyond ruse,
betrayal,
the sound

of one hand clapping
to infinity
with promises
to beg for?
