Let's make peace
































It’s so simple what I ask for ….

Admit you grumble and complain

About that destructive lamb

that bleats incessantly


Standing in the corner

plugging his ears

Promise me you won’t 

do that around me


Although you made clear 

many times

That won’t be a problem

Admit you knew I wanted 

to play that role


And you overstepped your role 

in this team effort

You took the project over 

and pushed me away


Admit that you knew 

it was my role 

to reformat the prayers

Even though

You still have not 

prevented me at all

from doing so


And that really hurts my feelings 

because I really wanted to do that

Apologize and let me know 

you trust my leadership

that I don’t have 

which I imagine I do


Let me know you will follow 

my leadership

Can you do this 

unreasonable, irrational 

demand of mine?


I can’t be part of your rivalry 

with that strangled cat in the corner

Nor can I work with someone 

who does not respect my leadership

which is entirely illusory 


Can you understand that?

I’m the reasonable one; 

I’m the pious one, the lowest of all, 

with visions of perfect prayer


Your actions which I won't specify

in this chimera of mine 

Toward that pathetic creature and me 

are so hurtful to me


I cry benedictine tears 

of penthos

and you don’t care

Even though you’ve been very clear 

about caring justly 

and thinking clearly


To not think less of one's self

but to think rightly of one's self 

as true humility

This is not a healthy relationship 

We can make peace

It’s easy: let’s make peace



Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, 

now and always, and forever and ever. Amen. 


Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Glory to you, O God.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Glory to you, O God.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Glory to you, O God.


Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. 


Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, 

now and always, and forever and ever. Amen.
