Forgive Me
Fox and chicken had a dialogue
Chicken complained for the safety
and welfare of her young ones
whom the fox picked and ate at will.
“Forgive me and my children”, chicken pleaded
Stop eating us, you know we are peaceful
in this kingdom where you’re king.”
“Forgiveness is not here in the land I am king
I was created to hate and eat you and your chicks;
and you come to me asking for pardon, he noted!
pardon is not in my shelf of existence and rule.
I tell you plainly, mercy is not here, fox shouted.
My work is to delete you; and now go there
I pray for your safe journey to your creator
When you reach there let Him give you mercy
that you so much hanker for.”
