Forgive them

Forgive them

A Poem by Tom Q
"

A new style I am playing with

"

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us

Forgive us as we forgive them

 

Hate is a price I pay so as to keep clear about and hold you accountable for your actions

Hate holds and keeps

 

Resentments remain because fantasies of revenge are delicious

Resent only thoughts of revenge

 

I don’t need forgiveness because my misdeeds are but minor

Forgiveness is never minor

 

If I forgive you then we are equal, I am not superior

To forgive equally is superior

 

I will forgive you in words but I will still maintain my loathing

Forgive as you forgive?

i had to read this a few times. very deep & philisophical. "If I forgive you then we are equal, I am not superior To forgive equally is superior". this line seems to have a religious tone to it, it reminds me of the hypocrisy of religions, those who are holy because they deem themselves to be better than every1 else. this piece really makes you think. a great write & an intriguing read.
