Rispetto For a Friend In Need
RISPETTO FOR A FRIEND IN NEED
There are lost souls who are tortured by mem’ry
And those who can never escape and are gripped
By sin-cell-conscience, a guilt-filled library
Where volumes of black records are never snipped.
Forgiveness is given by God, but the first
Longing for break-out comes from their own great thirst
For justice and freedom and inner mind-peace
Where the dreams and nightmares and torture all cease.

Written for Dr. Ram’s RISPETTO contest
Chosen rhyme scheme : ababccdd
