What a fool I have been exclaimed the itinerant worker not to have seen the foreman's attempt at subterfuge.
How awkward it would have been to have accused the workers and their families of blasphemy when all along they were deceived
and the forces held up against them raining hard, turning disk to mud, switching seasons in the middle of the night wind blowing our heads astray, our hearts out
how could I have not seen the force with which circumstance can collide with fate and destiny and wayward actions, how one step cannot veer from another

and their families of blasphemy
when all along they were deceived
and the forces held up against them
raining hard, turning disk to mud,
switching seasons in the middle of the night
wind blowing our heads astray, our hearts out
how could I have not seen the force
with which circumstance can collide
with fate and destiny and wayward actions,
how one step cannot veer from another
