Gavel's Grace

How can we talk of venturing space
when we haven't yet come to learn the ways of earth?

Why assume we're deserving of such stellar privileges?

How can we even think of leaving earth in
such a tumultuous state of man-made disarray?

This blame far out reaches anyone
these motions predate any present life

yet who amongst us hasn't stood
with smoking gun

with lose of innocence
comes a shedding of ignorance

any guilty party
is guilty by mere
association

who amongst us hasn't
been accessory to this crime?

Yet the supreme judge does
not reside in persecuting an
entire population

the supreme judge serves
to any enlighten any
witness willing to
abide by his high ruling
