confession: i abandoned the wretched of the earth on page six. i am sort of ashamed, in truth, i feel wretched, yet i get it, i think. and i don't think the wretched will overcome, they will simply endure as william faulkner said.
still, it is good
to use what little intellect and energy
i still have to be ashamed
and ensouled.
i was not a good scholar,
except for wretched shame,
ha.
