Day of Forgiveness

So much pain So much violence So much suffering So much senselessness. People killing People hating People running People dieing. Those that kill How they will Find the truth Behind their actions. When they reach their judjement day And stand before the Golden Gates They will tremble with the ache of what they've done And the knowledge and power of what can't be undone. They will look into the eyes of God And feel the pain that they have caused The hate, the pain, the anguish And then, they will know. They will understand their actions When they look into the eyes Of those that have died And they will tremble in fear. Those that have died WIll look them in the eye And their souls will combine And they will be forgiven. Hate does not cure hate. Pain does not cure pain. Wishing ill on those who wish ill Will not bring an end to the hate. Only by forgiveness When you look them in the eye Will they know. And you know. That all is all right. I'm not saying that they're actions are justified. I'm not saying that those people are good. I'm not saying that those people do not deserve punishment. I'm not saying that those people deserve a clean slate. I am saying that when someone has grown strong. Strong enough to forgive those evil deeds, Hope is born in the hate. Love is born from the pain. And then we can start to heal.
