Is forgiveness a commandment?: A poem 

Posted bymontecyrilPosted inUncategorized

The roadblocks and signs alert the passersby 

and the drivers take diversions with a sigh 

Yes, we all have instructions that we must heed 

It can be agitating, but it is also a need 

We can all try to squish anxiety with our fingertips 

But to be caught in life’s traffic jams is no honey on our lips 

Clouds may loom, the stars may dim, deluges come too 

How we wish to forget loss, like flush in the loo! 

But we can’t undress trouble like garments every day 

like the heating that dissipates the cold in the south in May 

But there is warmth, I must say, from the ones we love 

Yet, should we forgive our enemies? I ask the one above 

Animosity is not just an opinion. It couldn’t be a mere sword of ego? 

Can God forgive Satan? Or does he wish to settle the score? 

Forgiveness should be granted only to those who deserve it 

Must repeated offenders be absolved without paying for it?

One thought on “Is forgiveness a commandment?: A poem ”

  1. yes, forgiving is mandatory. Even the phrase ‘ I forgive’ has ego in it . don’t you think

    Repeat offenders will continue to offend

    haters will hate

    Potatoes will potate

    who cares what the rest do – we will live in light
