Disheart

Disheart
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

A little bit of rash
Cancels great wisdom
Can serious wrongs be
Forgived ? 
How calm are we
in judgement ..
And let greatniss fall 
On a man down
Cause of prejudice
When we guilty of bringing 
X down
because of that said
which we have not seen ?
In human err
To forgive divine
We never do
The viper's tongue said ..
So and so ..And
That and that
He done that ..
which can 
never be unsaid
are we culpable
of that .. ?
or
can we just
Live
ONE day
By the truth.
