Anisha Dutta Poet Couplet

To Err

TO ERR    
     
       To err is human; to forgive, divine.
        No doubt, no argument, perfectly fine.
        So far, the act is really mistake
         My conscience, sympathy will not break.
        
       If err touches crime, I cannot ignore
       I will be cruel, never to endure.
       Greatness of forgiveness to sweep away
      Punishment is the answer. No way.    

      To err is human; to forgive divine.
       provided mistakes subject to define.
       Doing harm or hurting or to assault
        is not a mistake but genuine fault.
