Forgive Me

If we spent less time fighting over our differences and focused more on learning to love and respect, perhaps we would finally understand what religion was meant to teach...

Forgive me for the shadows now and past,

I do not know the myst’ry, judge and trial,

I know not space nor time nor centuries back,

I know not what awaits - life, death, exile.

But all I see, the wars and end in all,

Was not it love that taught the soul to live?

Too many since still lost in War’s death call;

Our hearts, our souls, now never left to give…

Please heed these words, and hear me if you please:

What's right in wrong? Right lost to baron seed

As countries past and current all shall see

True evil wears the mask of hate and greed.  

Forgive me still, for when it’s said and done

No right way wins when love is lost to guns.

I liked your logic in the poem. You described with care and reason.
"Forgive me still, for when it’s said and done
No right way wins when love is lost to guns."
About lines are true. Guns do not bring love or peace. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

If all the people in the world were listening to me for one brief moment, I would say, "Try your best to make each one of your thoughts, and actions come from a place of love."
