that which we deserve
and that which we receive
are two extremely different things
life experiences common sense
should have drilled driven this
deep into our receptive psyche
personality responds to criticism praise
we wither or flower in ice or sunlight
we are burned by both ice and sunlight
we are warmed sheltered caressed in love
we are damned persecuted tortured by hate
empowered by belief faith can change fate
