I Choose To Forgive
Dad died, i know what killed him
It was envy from another man
A man who still lives
A man who has boys like me
And girls so beautiful like my sister
I chose to do it just like that
Sending my father to the grave
With poison
He thought none would know
But guilt struck him
Until it was too hard to bear
He run into another life
Of another young man
And murdered him too
The village knew
They wanted to kill him
I felt like joining them
But
I chose not
But to watch him stay and be tormented
By his sin and malice
That was not enough
I understand that good haunts bad
I chose to forgive him
And love him
I shook hands
With my devil
And now even when
I walk like an orphan
I am happy that
I forgave
The man who killed
My precious dad
