Forgiveness

Forgiveness is an exemplary virtue 

Which is attained by only few 

But if you know the logic behind 

You will never ignore being kind 

 

 

Let's analyse certain forgiveness facts 

It's nothing new I'm going to interact 

But in the race of life we have forgotten 

So let's quickly recap this blessing 

 

Each individual has a past 

In which they have gone through lots 

Lots of abuses, lots of negligence

Lots of hatred, lots of revenge 

 

Each one of us hurting within 

Some because of broken home 

Others because of workplace doom 

All are somewhere inside cracked and broken 

 

If we understand this about human beings 

This dark side resides inside everything

So we will realise our own inner conflicts 

Making us generous and kind to others and us 

 

Some people evolve positively 

Others drastically negatively

It all depends upon our virtues 

How strong and powerful is our inner goodness 

 

It's easy to become bitter, dark and evil 

Thirsting for revenge and vengeance

Flaring up like fire over small arguements 

Abusing and hurling belittling words and actions 

 

But the powerful soul rises above darkness 

It knows its own goodness and inner worth 

For nothing is more important than inner peace 

So why sacrifice our good deeds only evil to achieve 

 

Each one of us broken in one way or the other 

Fear for something or someone is deep within us 

We sometimes know what troubles our inner self 

But often we remain hurting and ignorant about it 

 

So next time you meet someone dark and evil 

Don't waste your time and goodness teaching them lessons 

For they will only increase in enemity and hatred 

They will hurt you more inorder to heal their broken image 

 

Flee, flee, flee, as fast as you can 

For their darkness is too strong 

It'll take hold of your inner glow and peace 

They will make you hate yourself in everyway 

 

Leave something's for God to fix and handle 

He for sure knows what to do with wicked individuals

A long rope of leniency hangs around their neck 

When they go harshest at their farthest that's when they get hanged till death 

 

Don't judge anyone according to their past or present 

People change suddenly keeping you guessing and gaping

So what's best we can do for our own self esteem and peace 

Is forgive others for every small or big thing for it's a favour we are on ourself doing

There is feeling of inner glow of peace doing what you have said of being above an evil act that one time someone has done.
In a way I must have forgiven to have felt this and in doing so
followed the strong message you sent inside your poem. ❤
