You Should Thank

You should thank your gods
if they force you to go
where no footprints
are to trust ahead.

You should thank your gods,
if all shame they make yours
You’ll have to seek refuge
a little further in.

That which all the world condemns
can sometimes fare quite well.
Free as a bird were many,
won their own soul.

He who is forced into wilderness
sees all with newborn eyes,
and gratefully tastes
life’s bread and salt.

You should thank your gods,
when they break away your shell.
Truth and core
will be your only choice.

Karin Boye
