There Is No Atonement

In support of human rights everywhere. The truth is not discovered quickly enough for justice to prevail and reparations to be made. But in time, all is revealed. And those who commit atrocities take their actions with them into their next life. Let's be the bridge for all that is good for everyone we meet. If you can't help, at least don't harm. There is no atonement By Michelle Morris 20/06/2023 There is no atonement For the atrocities that men do Those acts beyond the unthinkable That linger on in history No matter what the books say No matter what is told The truth goes on inside us It affects humanity's DNA There is no atonement No excuses that can be made If we harm others in our lifetime We take our tarnished halos to the grave © Michelle Morris, 2023
