You say you're sorry
But your not
You want me to forgive
But I won't
You say something racist
Then give this fake apology
What do you want
For me to forgive and forget
But what you said
Is permanently etched in my head
So no I won't forgive and forget
I won't give you the satisfaction
I won't let you win
I won't submit
To this narrative
Where you somehow make yourself the victim
So you can take your 'apology' and shove it
Because to me it's meaningless
So you can choke on your fake guilt
Instead of being a racist maybe you should go into acting
Because this performance
you nailed it
But don't think I'll fall for it
You knew what it meant
You used it to torment
Me
To bully
Me
But you don't know the history
You are so ignorant
This is white privilege
Because while your trying to unlearn your racism
I and many other had to heal from the worlds hatred
So excuse me If I don't forgive and forget
So I won't pretend for your benefit
Christmas is for children, a time of wonders and wishes
Christmas is for children, once a year treats delicious
Decorations of sparkling reds and greens
overflow everyplace in delightful extremes
Wanting gifts from jolly old Saint Nick
hoping naughty times he can forgive and forget
Desring snow and wanting frosty cold
the merriment of the season to be told and retold
Christmas is for children, happy carols to sing
Christmas is for children, let joyful hearts ring
Presents and gifts, puppies and kittens
Stockings hung and fuzzy warm mittens
Eggnog and candy canes, cookies and smiles
Atonement and forgiveness, our family and pals
Christmas is for children, children still young and even those old
For the Love of Christmas our Savior as a child bestowed
For love is not always easy, not always kind,
It is the bond that ties us, body, and mind.
We refuse to give up, to let go of what we hold dear,
For in each other's arms, we have nothing to fear.
Through the stormy seas and darkest nights,
We cling to each other, our hearts continuing to fight.
Broken but not beaten, we try to rebuild what was lost,
Holding on to love, no matter the cost.
It isn't easy to forgive and forget,
But letting go will be easier than living with our regrets.
Loving each other after trust had been broken,
It is a journey of redemption, a promise never spoken.
For in each other's eyes, we see
That I was meant for you, and you were meant for me.
Knowing that together we could find
That our hearts are forever entwined.
He was a giant six foot three
To his son a tiny boy me
I would stand tippy toe
Just to be four feet beneath his nose
Tough and ruff his generation was old
Strong and right he was bold
Dominated mother sisters and me
He ruled his castle forcefully
He beat me to show love
He scolded me to teach love
Fear in a little ones heart
Simmers into hate the fear departs
Distant we became
Relationship of father and son were strain
But sick mother brought us together again
Helping her helped us to be friends
Than Alzheimers came and stole his mind
And the big mad giant faded into time
His mind became mild
He was a gentle soul with a soft smile
Old and gentle he became meek
The old giant was now weak
Happy in his little world
I kept him safe in his little world
His clouded mind made mine clear
He was my father my daddy dear
Life is sweet and time is short
Bitterness and anger only distort
To forgive is divine
Because in forgiveness you win time
Time to share time to live
Time to love and time to give
Did the giant grow small?
Or did the son grow tall?
What is in the past is pass
Now is here let it last
Honor thy mother and father
Honor thy mother and father
Forgive and forget
Live love end regrets
Softly he is a shade of life
Soon to join his departed wife
Shorter are his days
The giant fades
What is forgiveness, good question if anything at all
Forgives the adulterer, but did she make the right call
Some crimes so egregious, there’s no second chance
Unless we bury our heads, and go around in a trance
Only the injured party, has the power to truly forgive
Poured acid on my face, but at least then let me live
I mean come on, some fates even worse than death
Torturers, psychopaths, should we forgive and forget,
This is not hatred in my heart, it’s just common sense
How do we believe our perpetrators, actually repent
Prisoners tell the parole board sorry, to get out of jail
Some speak the truth, but others are incorrigible fails
I’m sorry I done wrong, took your car while you slept
It’s ok son your forgiven, left my keys around, so inept
On second thoughts, condoning may encourage it again
Only the next time, they run someone over, what then
Not so straight forward, when I put it to you this way
Forgiveness has consequences, makes hurt seem ok
Indeed in some cases, offence should be overlooked
Where a circumstance dictated, unbecoming conduct
Perhaps the culprit was young, just went off the rails,
Forgive by all means, with some cautionary harsh tale
But what is forgiveness, perhaps just simply letting go
Showing your the bigger person, also good for the ego
Is forgiveness a human delusion, to just give permission
It’s our Christian way, but did anyone tell the inquisition
If there is an almighty God, or indeed some higher power
Will they overlook our not forgiving, come the final hour
To die with a resentment, does it mean an incomplete life
Wait til on ones deathbed, condemn your unfaithful wife
To die of some disease, contracted doing charitable work
Sorry! my own choice, I forgive myself for what it’s worth

Singapore
I asked you what I have done wrong
But there is no response - just a stony silence
No words can convey my guilt, my inner sadness
This will be my last goodbye
My final letter to you my love
Tears flow down my ashen face
Tears of sadness, tears of regret
Drip
Drip
Drip
Drip
Tears fall on the paper as I write
They mingle with the damp blue ink
The inky water leaches into the paper
Its colour starts to bleed and spread
Until it fades into nothingness
I am empty, devoid of emotion
I can say no more
Forgive me for being me
Forgive me for caring
Forgive me for loving you
Goodbye forever

one last poem
You would never have to share me
If you would only claim me for your own
No one has touched me
I have friends
and then I have closer friends
But I love you
But leaving me
you gave me away
I cannot bear the pain
You speak as if you were the only one
who had things to forgive and forget
ButI femember a few things too, a few who's
"i'm only a man" was your lame excuse
"Your are more beautiful than the night"
"Winter is cold, you are warm"
and each of them wore different
feminine names.
I don't want to share either
Not your love. your desires, your body
any of it.
I deserve to be everything to a man
I deserve to be enough
So walking away at this late date
comes late for me
You left long ago
I cried for you to come back
My esteem lessened with each blow
each name
Still i love you and want you
but need to be enough for you
no fooling around
no games
no surprises
BY Catie Lindsey
"Responce"
i would'nt share you with anyone
i would'nt share you with the world
or with one single solitary soul
and I ponder God himself
no one should touch you
lest you lose your reproach
but all my love
depends on this
all or nothing
you speak of friends
as if they were close relatives
as if you have the right
to spend time alone
"Nay!" i am only a man
trust has foolishness out grown
i too reminess the things of the past
some too painfull
to remember
having shared with
kings and beggers
scorn and wrath
"He's just a friend."
such a lame excuse
how convienient and proper
for such use
for the crime of infidelity
men don't forgive
and they don't forget
it is a tormentor
that like the fires of hell
never go out
and violence to the soul
ruins the sane
Don't worry about my faults
worry about your own
i don't want to share you
with anyone or anything
i want to be enough
but if walk away i must
on that you can trust
for a little bit of love
and a tiny bit of lust
my esteem destroyed
with one blow
and still i love and want you
are you in
or are you out
BY J H Loving III
OH YES...IT IS WELL...
I now know you as you are known
to be known---as in the beginning
when wisdom posited
riveting pellets of revelations
strengthening fertile minds---etching
fearless determinations---bounding
the oneness of mind so essential to survival.
I now know you as you are known
to be known---and no false claims
of Armageddon can excuse you
from you inhuman genocidal deeds.
No capricious apology or innate fear
can generate a forgive---forget syndrome.
Remember to remember that Judas
was and is---forgiven:
for Truth---never forgotten nor
desired to be---is his deed.
May God forgive me
for allowing you to freely rape
and abuse peace, love and justice.
May The Supreme forgive me for allowing
myself to drink the wine of deceit
and bite into the fruit of fear---to forget
to remember: you cannot love the tree
and hate its roots; that you cannot fight wars
in the name of peace; cannot build justice
and equanimity on a foundation of injustice.
To forgive and forget? May The Most High
forever forgive me and never forget
to remind me of the profound effect my fears---
veiled, shadowed choice that I have had to make:
Relentlessly springing into fiery actions
when not needed; failing to initiate
community actions when I knew I should.
I now know you as you were known
to be known: hate---the fraternal abortion
from the belly of the womb; the un-sanctified one---
Indeed, with satanic blades you may murderously cut down briefly
the tender trees of the Garden of The Most High; but remain powerless
to uproot the ever anchored and growing roots of our supreme
beginnings here: in this wayward land that is bequeathed us.
Indeed, in Amazing Grace…shall we still rise…rise…
and rise again; and may our portion be to hear and echo:
well done…well done…all is well.
I don’t believe in Heaven
I aim to have my fun here on Earth
Since the age of ten or eleven,
I’ve been questioning everything’s worth
How can you resolve
the body and the soul,
the heart and the mind,
the star and the black hole?
I don’t believe in Paradise
This place is all we get
But if I got to do it all twice,
I’d happily forgive and forget
How can you resolve
the idea and the expression,
the emergence and the burial,
the crime and the confession?
Well these are all just words
A plague upon philosopher kings
The crowd is the noise, the goal-line gets blurred –
What solace forgetfulness brings
Well memory’s just a word –
The balm of the philosopher kings
You can crawl back to the herd
Or see what the future brings –
Let’s see what the future brings
Forgive and forget
And see what the future brings
