Hear No Evil

Simple words heard in my halcyon days I bring
‘Forget and Forgive’  are the exuberant thoughts that spring
This eternal  truth in my heart I sonorously sing 
Cynical  I would be if my mind had not had it cling
Jealousy it may or may not bring, but I wear this Truth as a pearl in my string.
From a desultory to a determined thought it took time to swing 
This conviction I know is  not a crepuscular hour thing
Any evil words heard I take as mere visceral sting
This way a penumbra of any despair out I wring
Leading an opulent  life of this faith I walk like a KING.
