Clemency

Will you be a product of your times

A mere reflection of

Someone else’s history

Or will you struggle, suffer, and create

Some sort of legacy –

Riding in and out

Of this world

Like Twain

On Halley’s Comet…

“The Almighty has said,

No doubt,

‘Now there are these two unaccountable freaks;

they came in together, they must go out together.’”
