Forgive them they know not

Forgive them they know not

A Poem by Lynn Higgs

Forgive them they know not

Forgive all their silliness

 How they seek to provoke the old pain

 Their mneedless attempts of acting

 Like they know about

 Being abuse

 When they have not a clue

 Comments on how all of us are

 Survivors who see

 Read

 Hear

 Experience the events

 Those who suffered and overcome

 With those who still suffer

 Forgive the ones who think they know

 When they have not an experience

 They tell you who you are

 How they expect you to be

 What you will do

 Then they played

 Some played to let others see

 Like if y9u lose control

 They will know the experience

 Telling them do not listen to those who went through the experience

 But listen to us

 Statistics said 30 % perpetrate the abuse

 So know all are dangerous

 People say they are incapable of love

 So all should be isolated

  Their pain will strike to hurt you

 So know they will not trust you.  They think they know

Forgive them they know not

 Their fear prevents them from hearing you

 Stop trying to share the experience

 In hopes they may reach another

 Their minds made up

 Their imposed more harm onto the abuse

 Not realizing

 By isolating them

 You created the walls

 By keeping a distance

 You prevented the intimacy

 By saying they would hurt

 You made your point

 They should not be trusted not be protected not be help

Oh because if they are then who would you have to blame

 And who would you have to torture

 So others can see get a glimpses of what it is like

 To see a human endure the pain of the darkness

 Imposed on them by people like you

 Who refused to let them into the light

 Where the pain would subside

 After all what might happen

 Is that you may actually see the truth of what it is really like

 To walk out of the darkness

 And maybe  and maybe and maybe then

 I would not have to say

 Forgive them father they know not what they do
