The Parable of the Archer

It's said that men are like an arrow
Shot from a bow
And their paths are determined
To fly true; or
Sink or raise, 
And, thus, stray off the mark.

I say all men are like arrows shot by
A blind Amateur,
Who when encountering Christ
If so they chose Him,
Will miraculously
Hit Him, like an arrow might hit a rock
And divert directly into
The bull's-eye 
Perfectly straight and without fail.
