Notes About The Poem

 

IN THE IRONY OF FORGIVENESS

 

The irony of forgiveness,

Is that human nature, doesn't

Demand that its cause

Be given forgetfulness;

Thus, giving anger opportunity

To revive its paining spirit

Of negative recollection;

Versus positive reconciliation:-

 

To forgive and not forget

Can prove to be oxymoronic;

Inhibiting resurrecting love

From eternally bonding

Family, friends, or lovers:-

 

The forgiveness we ask of God,

We must also give to one another;

And this forgiveness begins

With the forgiveness of self:-

 

Past trials and tribulations

Extricated and flushed down,

Let self be now ever bonded

In the onederful oneness onement

That God has bestowed upon thee 

With faith’s divine peace and love:-

IN THE IRONY OF FORGIVENESS

The irony of forgiveness,

Thus, giving anger opportunity
To revive its paining spirit
Of negative recollection;
Versus positive reconciliation:-

To forgive and not forget
Can prove to be oxymoronic;
Inhibiting resurrecting love
From eternally bonding

The forgiveness we ask of God,
We must also give to one another;
And this forgiveness begins
With the forgiveness of self:-

Past trials and tribulations
Extricated and flushed down,
Let self be now ever bonded
In the onederful oneness onement
That God has bestowed upon thee
