Mirek Eric Sulkowski Poet Rhyme

Forgiveness

Forgiveness.
It’s not an easy word.
It’s hard to pronounce,
gets stuck in your throat.
What hurts more than sticks?

that break your bones!
So you’re building walls,
ready, clutching stones.
An eye for an eye?
Seems to be fair business.
Unless
 YOU’RE THE ONE
asking for forgiveness
