I Saw This Evil Under The Sun

I once knew a man who was set apart
from the hither and thither of life.
He could talk for hours about love and art
but he still secretly wished for a wife

I once knew a woman who was holy
her ecstacies were wondrous and wild.
I took notes on the visions she told me.
But she was still  never granted a child.

I once knew a woman who was so mean
she deserved her vulgar husband's abuse.
They'd so many children it was obscene
all raised violently, cruelly and loose.

I wonder again at justice and grace
and wondered how each can have its own place.
