Acceptance

Undertaking of the Noble Soul

Treading the Sacred Road

Gaining of Understanding

Finding Peace through Liberation

The Great Teachers

Spoke to Us of This

To know Impermanence

Is to come to Understand

What will Be must Be

Rendering into God

Inhabiting the Eternal Flow

Yet this cannot extend

To unconditional Accepting

Of what be Evil and Wrong

This is not The Pathway

Just one-way street to Below

For to Accept such

As be Evil and Wrong

Is the same as The Doing

Bending in acquiescence

Meekly surrendering The Good

Our World teeters now

Precisely because We, The People

Have been convinced

Of the Merit of Accepting

Even in The Face

Of terrible Evil and Wrong
