Atonement
Atonement
I wish life had its own sharp erasers,
Like pencils have erasers, lead and point
And have erasers ready and handy
We can right our wrongs without traces.
Removing anything with firm yet soft strokes
Leaving no trace of the previous mistakes
Making it seem there was no imperfection.
Except, of course those pink remnants.
Erasers don’t pretend to justify errors,
What they do is only try to justify.
Don’t forget we have the greatest eraser
That leaves no those pink remnants.
That is prayer to the Lord for atonement
We can right our wrongs without traces.
