Yes, there is a lot one need atone for.
One is in this pickle every year.
Maybe progress is too much to ask for,
Knowing how few angels live down here.
In fact, one must atone for what one didn't,
Perhaps as much or more than what one did.
Perhaps one's most egregious evil isn't
Understood till one lifts up the lid,
Revealing what one's life of privilege hid.
