I Will Forgive You
I will forgive you
But will the sly world
When the ponds you poisoned
Feed water to you
And late time unfurled
How self deceived you
And made you surrendered
And claim a pebble for pearl
I will forgive you
The bitterness destroyed
After it destroyed you.
And until then I aloft
Will fly, a swallow
Not an eagle, that scoff
Then eat in shallow
Rot of flesh, its pride
A paltry feather
That I weightless abide
The foul of weather.
