i have loved to be torn<\/p>\n
by those who had<\/p>\n
faith in me and had borne,<\/p>\n
my love and affection, no matter<\/p>\n
whethey call me names<\/p>\n
or only shatter<\/p>\n
their own self respect and desire to be pure<\/p>\n
will you bestow your\u00c2\u00a0 kindness<\/p>\n
and forgive them<\/p>\n
who do not know<\/p>\n
how i swallowed the poison<\/p>\n
when\u00c2\u00a0 they lost their sense of proportion<\/p>\n
my crime is my indulgence<\/p>\n
even when i teach tolerance<\/p>\n
May you decide<\/p>\n
Kali whether i betrayed<\/p>\n
any body’s faith<\/p>\n
or dug a hole in my own boat<\/p>\n
to make others smile<\/p>\n
and remain afloat<\/p>\n
in the flood of fury and anger<\/p>\n
you still retain the mellowness and\u00c2\u00a0 scatter<\/p>\n
your kindness and forgivance<\/p>\n
may the world understand,<\/p>\n
how well one keeps the distance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
