On Reconciliation & Retribution...

Again, here you come dangling

that same kind of rope that hung

and choked my sacred ancestors…

filling their footprints with clods

left by your kindred transgressors.

 

You proudly boast of their naked sin;

praising toast-like, the wicked tricks

that granted unjustifiable privileges

to you and all heirs with the same skin.

 

Yes, to err is human

Yes, to forgive is divine:

 

Yet, Christ, human and divine,

Was bruised and readily crucified;

His crown, a roped thorny vine, 

that bloody hands had well modified.

 

Today, like Pilate, you wash your

filthy hands.

Leaving dirty basins filled with soapy

water bans.

 

Christ asked, forgave, and had mercy on people

of the likes of you.

Because of His death, resurrection, and teachings,

I must forgive too.

 

Yet, I must keep praying each and every blessed

day;

for thoughts like these that just keep coming my

way:

 

“If you were me and I was you,

and I did to you what you’ve done to me, 

would that not be reciprocity?”
