where does forgiveness hide?
The people needed to forgive
but who can forgive this insanity?
The teacher read this from
a history book in 2028.
The students try to remember the events
of 2020 but some were too young.
“It was an awful time”, one student called out.
I woke up from this futuristic dream.
the question on my mind was …
Where does forgiveness hide these days?
I want to forgive the injustices
that are happening.
I believe many people do too
and they want to forget the atrocities.
But every time we look
more absurdities arise.
More misinformation resonates
and almost deafens like
someone sounding a trumpet
right by my ear.
No freedom bell to announce
the greatness promised.
The chants for peace
drowned out by gunshots.
Tear gas blinds those who were the witnesses.
Questions remain unanswered,
Some answers simply ridiculous,
because they want to keep us confused.
Where does forgiveness hide these days?
It hides with the truth and the innocent bystanders.
It is all surreal,
perhaps a hoax,
no reality here
but I continue to yearn
that I awaken from the
collective nightmare.
Are you ready to forgive and forget?
