It's Time We Forgive

It's now time we forgive 
the trespasses of our neighbours 
who in the course of wellbeing searching 
showered them like a storm on us. 

It is time we stretch them a hand 
humbly giving love without reserve; 
smilingly and joyously too. 

It's time we accept, 
that jealousy and hatred; 
they have no place in our midst. 

It's time we accept 
that man no matter his colour 
Tribe, ethnicity, and rang 
is indispensible to his fellow. 

It's now time we bury our pride, 
the spring board of our hatches, 
Stretch our hands to all; 
and give like a new meaning.
