even as I act I think to not

though pain with self-despair

will again their shadows rise

I continue on, as other-driven

disregard unwanted warning

race along this hazard road

t’ward a doom as certain sure

as is fraught with final death

could not change though I try

knowing well I will at its end

weep bitter outcome unavoided

yet am by some great Mercy found

and made well
