Easier to give than to receive

 Mercy is desired by all. To be understood. Circumstances known; Of the why of things, So that understanding may flow. The giving of mercy is less desired. The giving hard, The struggle too great; Better to condemn, And bury understanding. Revenge is sweet so they say, Easy to exact, Quickly done, But the pay back Comes in pain-filled installments…. A bounding unending, Spreading outward, Dragging in family, Loved ones, Into the dance of recrimination A hell of sorts, a cycle of violence, Growing, maturing, Bearing fruit That only destroys. Mercy allows the other to be, Their power to change ones life’s course is naught, The connection broken, Perhaps and ending, Or a new beginning…. To give mercy or to withhold it; To embrace life, Or to destroy the offender By inches, The bloody wounds hidden from view….. To give or not to give? Perhaps this is the question, The only important one That needs to be pondered, And understood |
