Limitations

Smooth, suave, slick
That is the new magician in town
The wand with his wrist that he does flick
An ace always ready up his sleeve
Expressions fit to be captured by a click
When he makes the Taj Mahal disappear
He says it is all in the legerdemain and a trick
And that is why people should watch him in action!

But no amount of earthly magic
Can bring back squandered time
Or lost lives
Or words that have been uttered
Or unravel the spiral of vicious actions
Nor can it make a man
Disappear from the door of death
Acts that can be performed only by the sleight of divine hand.
