The Forgiveness Damn



The Forgiveness Damn

We witness and ask forgiveness
When does justice begin or injustice win?
Perhaps most difficult is to forgive ourselves
But the right to forgive is a vital holiness

Forgiveness to be earned or deserved is the key
Received or given can wreck sanity
For worthiness is known deep within
Without justification it’s diminution thru’ inflation

Conflict between faith and reason
Turning the other cheek or declaring sin
Sackcloth and ashes, suffering flagellation
Or live with guilt anguished in servitude until saturation

Then comes the manifestation and confession
Do I forgive myself a transgression against me?
What if it’s imagined or I cannot, you see?
So this is called maturity?
