Why is it people forget, <br />What it is they do to others... <br />When paybacks become due, <br />And are to them directed. <br /> <br />These selected memory folks, <br />I have mentioned before. <br />But as the more of them appear, <br />From behind their closet doors... <br />It is believed their deeds are cleared, <br />As if wiped clean to be erased... <br />From school chalk boards. <br /> <br />No! <br />A price is always paid, <br />When one consciously does to others... <br />With a purpose to use to do a screwing. <br /> <br />Why is it people forget, <br />What it is they do to others... <br />When paybacks become due, <br />And are to them directed. <br />Time is on no one's side, <br />Just to let things slide by to hide and deny. <br /> <br />No! <br />A price is always paid, <br />When one consciously does to others... <br />With a purpose to use to do a screwing.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
