Crushing

To be crushed is not to be
hit and then left to recover.
It's to be left untouched
unable to pass from one place to another.

To be crushed is not to be
held down by some minor influence.
It's to be left alone
with nothing to understand.

To be drowning is not to be
suffered as some cruel fate.
It should be taken as a blessing
maybe even a gift from God.

But I've never seen him give anything away
and I've never known him to have anything to say
which is why I've never felt any real need to pray.
