FORGIVE PT. 1
Forgive each other, for forgetting:
"And forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us."
Then wonder why they're always against us.
Forgive each other,
for forcing the best of us
to set aside their own knees
on behalf of the blessed of us, and our
most valued black resident,
as we forgive ourselves, and the rest of us,
for failing to get up off our knees
and stand on our own two feet
and forgive the ultimate failure
of the first black president.
Forgive each other for killing each other
Black on black descendants of God,
and forgive us our elders
for neglecting forgiveness lessons
as the ultimate form of Jihad.
The irony of this poetic analogical text,
in the form of this epilogue, is that,
the business of the funeral services
of both, slain black youth, and cops,
are often conducted at the same mortuary, or church,
the same Lord's prayer, chapter and verse.
Same video reflections,
same grave site motorcade processions.
Everybody singing the same songs,
crying the same tears, and wondering,
just who's side is God on?
God is commanded to be on the side of the forgiver,
Matt 6:12 is still there for you to view.
I'll start this conversation by forgiving myself,
and feeling really good about forgiving you too.
