The system
Always wins.
It's how
You lose
That counts

A Sufi on the Underground

You are beautiful;
Your T-shirt says "religion":
Everything makes sense.

After Kassia

What's willed, occurs. If you concur,
What's willed occurs. If you demur,
What's willed occurs. Demurral irks;
Consent gives strength to all your works.

Kassia was a Byzantine Abbess, poet and composer who lived in the 9th Century BCE.
