Mercy

In a world of second chances

It should come as no surprise

The bridle of benevolence should

Lead the way to a proper pause.

 

Concession comes much easier when

Views arise through other’s eyes.

And quarter seems more likely given

To a foe of noble cause.

 

Mercy is the silent seer

Whose ending anger cannot see.

The power of forgiveness gives

The giver infinite release.

 

So, let us then give ken to mercy,

Hail to grace and clemency.

Let the shine of tempered pardon

Be the paradigm of peace.

 

Whereas we decry a lie,

The truth is oft misunderstood.

Though the outside blurs to black

Inside there may still be good.
