Cart Blanche ...

Today’s word is “cart blanche” ... Kahrt blanch ... unconditional authority; full discretionary power. (Dictionary.com)

Judge

It is really true,

     we have been given cart blanche

          to rule this world.

Why we’ve been entrusted with this,

     is anybody’s guess.

Certainly not for our obedience,

     and not for our purity.

In fact. If it had been up to us to judge ourselves,

     we would have had less mercy.

So we fell, out of order, out of time,

     into a chaos made with our own hands.

There would have been no hope for us

     at all, except for grace.
And now we know. We have a choice ...
     the darkness or the light.
