Forgiveness.

Forgiveness. 
What a funny thing. 
The bringer of peace. 
A tail with a sting. 

People make choices. 
Through actions. 
Not voices. 
When they stand in line. 
With their chosen faction. 

Between lovers. 
It consumes. 
Comes with surprises. 
Teaches us all. 
There must be compromises

For those that seek it. 
It leaves you wanting. 
As you find out. 
There's no party. 
No bunting. 

Wise men's teachings. 
Fall flat. 
Like preaching. 
Don't end the quest. 
Nor the seeking. 

I wish I was wise. 
Could show you the way. 
But for now. 
Think hard. 
Choose carefully what you say.
