Forgiveness, In Memory of the Victims of Charleston Church Shooting

It was an altar of prayer but God didn't rise evil entered the house in a noble disguise. Bullets were strewn sanity was killed bodies fell as corpses blood did spill. And hatred had the victory on that grisly day, it seemed. It was pain, agony and cry they felt in their mind and hearts, they were the kin of the happy churchgoers. "I forgive you" those words they uttered time and time the evil stood in silence and just smiled. People made a human chain and prayed and it was not revenge that struck the deal but forgiveness that prevailed. Love had its last smile and it triumphed at the end.

This is a strong poem that deals with the fact that love is willing to forgive more than the heart can bare and does so willingly when it comes to faith. Well written. Emile. #7
