There is something to be said, <br />About being deeply hurt. <br />Doesn't it seem that those who perpetrate... <br />Are quick to apologize for their actions. <br />With no clue as to whose feelings have been attached. <br />Without a hint as to who has been affected, <br />By their... <br />'Oversight'. <br /> <br />If something is done intentionally. <br />It is done with intent. <br />To provoke. <br />And to inflict one's wickedness. <br />Only the blind would miss the intent of this! <br /> <br />Being apologetic for one's conscious misdeeds... <br />Still does not erase those acts that have taken place. <br /> <br />The victim is the one that should be forgiven, <br />And shown much gratitude... <br />For being blessed not to express a retribution. <br />And letting God handle it! <br />Showing this to be remarkable strength with faith applied. <br />And not retaliating like fools do. <br />There is an Omnipresent Deity... <br />Also doing with intent on more majestic levels.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
