From Ash Wednesday by James W. Bailey

A poem...Our victims pray for us...constantly...hoping we have too much pity...wishing compounded interest on us...desiring a lower capital gains for us...wanting the better of all worlds for us...despite our abundance...despite our rich apathy...despite our cynical apologies.
