Tear out the stuffing of your soul <br />it needs not healing but more pain. <br />Who says forgive the devil's deeds <br />has never felt self-pity's needs. <br />They flash the book at you, my friend <br />and urge you turn the other cheek. <br />It will be more in tune with peace <br />if you will go and join the meek. <br />Pink faces, warm with gentle smiles <br />will nod, encouragingly so, <br />while sweeping guilty dust aside <br />it leaves you just one choice. To go.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-is-really-you/
