The Way

I apologize for the way the sun sets till dark

For the way the darkness creeps into the night

For the way the night is a temptation for evil

For the way the evil destroys our solace, our peace

 

I apologize for the way I let the evil overcome me

For the way the evil confuses within me

For the way the confusion consumes me

For the way this consumption causes me to sin

 


I apologize for the way I act without thinkingFor the way my thinking brings witless actions

For the way my witless actions bring out my faults

For the way my faults bring about your sadness
I apologize for the way I was born into this world

For the way my birth made people happy

For the way my happiness made people sad

For the way my sadness made other people happy

 

I apologize for the way I am

For the way I tried

For the way I did not mean to hurt us

But I did
