I’m alright. He has informed me plainly,
Told me not to hide, and I step forth:
Everyone who wronged me and betrayed me
Will be punished by the One I Serve!
I don’t know how: by a jackknife’s slash,
Or will their house burn down into ash,
Or will they be demoted, crushed, imprisoned…
When? I have no idea. Maybe even
Tomorrow, or in years, or it’s done
Already! Fate will not be outrun!
You cannot race against it on a spare.
You cannot seep through it or go around.
So I’m alright. It’s true: for all I care,
Let stones, hail, or bullets strike you down!
