Let them say what they wish behind our backs, <br />Let them lie, let them laugh, let them whisper. <br />What they say about us are naught but trash – <br />From minds where foolish thoughts always linger. <br /> <br />Let them speak. On Judgment Day they shall see <br />The results of their sins they committed – <br />Against themselves, and against you, and me – <br />Some of their good deeds may be rejected, <br /> <br />Or transferred to our account of good deeds – <br />Hence, for the oppressed that would be a gain, <br />Donated by those who are most in need <br />Of good actions to erase what they claimed. <br /> <br />So if some mention you – in a bad way – <br />Their vile speech may slap them on Judgment Day.<br /><br />Miriam Mababaya<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/let-them-say-and-they-shall-see/
