Apologize, Repent, Or Humanize

I When mistakes (sins, really) occur Again, again, again, again, again Who has grace enough to forbear? Maybe misguided mothers, not men Like me ... Either old school or clear About action-reaction, choice - consequence II All sides gain if there seems to be justice With great mercy, grace, forgiveness Or forgiveness is but a burdened brute Like donkeys (old English "@asses") That cannot get human consideration Since none would take a donkey to tea Or coffee, or - O my human brain - therapy But you & I must feel our identity As humans is respected; humans ought not beg for humanity In the name of misguided forgiveness On the one side only; error must pay & learn Or forget forgiveness & all education Such is the choice for this generation "Goodbye civilization," or bring back repentance
