Tolerence

you heard me cry
but did not come
i pleaded to you for love
You waved goodbye

i am done
i am over
i am gone
i am under

you called yourself a lover
you sad God loves
you failed to love me
you moved me to shame

i am done
i am over
i am gone
i am under

shame on your judgement
shame on your beliefs
shame on your mis-placed anger
shame on your actions

i am done
i am over
i am gone
i am under

I love this! Tolerance is not a virture many possess. Of course we're going to pass judgment -we are humans. But that judgment becomes distorted when it is not tampered with mercy. Nice write Mapaseka!

we try to change the world with words, the same as what corrupted it, words.
