Look At Ourselves

If we look in the mirror What do we see If we look behind us Is it other than thee If we do a wrong Does it make it right If we apologise Does it change our sight To all who have done wrong Raise your hands If not here In other lands There is many a crime So hideous and wrong But to do wrong once We sing that same song Its the level of wrong That we distinguish to discuss The misdemeanour And the out and out cuss Others will recover A different path they will follow Others will re-offend It's their bitter pill, they will swallow So there comes a time To judge some less Allow their reunion Their second test Jimmy Anderson A young man at thirty one Allow him this chance His new life has began Look back on this day As we look at ourselves How many off us, could have been Left on a shelf http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/poetry-soup-2.php
