God,
I just want to let you know
You aren't perfect.
Perhaps no one
Has had the guts
To tell you.
That your arbitrary
Choices of who lives
And who dies
Sucks.
One soldier lives
And other dies
And the one left behind
Wishes it was him,
Feeling guilty
For the children
The other man
Left behind…
How is that
Fair?
I forgive you
For letting people
Suffer like you do.
Some one has to.
You suck.
At a lot of things
Like letting big
Corporations allowing
Cancer to thrive
So they can make
A profit…
I mean where
The hell
Is the justice in that?
So I forgive you
For not stepping
Up to the plate
And letting
All this
Horror
Continue
This systematic
Brutalization of humans
Doing inhumane things
To other humans
For thousands of years…
So even though
Your crime
Is idling standing by
And doing nothing…
No your Sin
Is idling standing by
And doing nothing…
I just wanted to let
You know
That you need my
Forgiveness.
I know you are
Ignorant of needing
My forgiveness
But I forgive you
Of even that…
I have to
Because it is
The same crime
That I myself
Am committing,
And before I can
Forgive anyone else
I cannot cast this
Stone
Without hitting
Myself in the face
With it.
But if I forgive you
Then it is the same
As forgiving
Myself
For letting the world
Do what it does
To me
To each other
It is the same.
