There’s a price to be paid

For both

Your ignorance and

Your knowledge.

 

The difference is

In knowledge I step into Reality

Whereas in Ignorance

I suffered my imagination.

 

Even though I now know

the difference

I still don’t fit my imagined concept

Of a good human being.

 

But now I stand aware

Of what goodness is.

 

And in this awareness

It becomes a joy

To bear the cross

You, who have deemed me an anomaly

Have selected for my redemption.
