An eye for an eye, A tooth for a tooth
People express it everyday as truth
Anger, blame and grudges we bare
Road rage and resentments we share
We are often focused on retribution
Some will not listen for solutions
Pay that person back for what they did
But none of the hurt did they get rid
The irony of this catastrophe
Is it primarily hurts you and me
Don't forgive for the sake of another
Rather for the salvation of each other
Real essence of forgiveness is to be
Repentance of ourselves to be set free
Focus on resentment blocks eternity
Without forgiveness there is no unity
We willl not be harassed or cajoled
Into repenting and cleansing our soul
A gentle touch as a reminder
Of what we might likelly find here
Loves us too much to order us bound
To make the point He utilizes the profound
It is not for the sake of the other we forgive
Rather for ourselves so we may live

True, true. Funny, to me, how the society as a whole seems to be completely selfish, yet for the one time they should look at what would be best for them.....THEY DON'T!!! Goodness gracious! Lack of forgiveness does hurt the one who was originally hurt. It's good that you've come to that understanding. Nicely done.
