Reciprocity
RECIPROCITY…
That you
in your perpetual
slime
should question my rebuke:
to err is human;
to forgive is divine.
The Golden Rule
I embrace;
Forgive me
while I revenge
my crucified race.
And when all is done
and the stale ashes cooling,
remember I learned it all
from your missionary schooling.
So if I were you and you were me
and I did to you what you’ve done to me;
Would that not be
reciprocity?
Thank God
For keeping me:
Me.
