More Than A Forgiveness Wished

It has to be traumatic,
To approach and seek a forgiveness...
From those one has actively victimized.

Especially if such activities,
Have been publicly applied.

And over the years has denied those,
The opportunity to provide a decent income...
For themselves or anyone else.

It has to be traumatic,
To approach and seek a forgiveness...
From those one has actively victimized.

And then one day it is discovered,
Those who had been subjected to misery...
Are more influential than one thought them to be.

And the discovery of this,
Leaves one with more than a forgiveness...
Wished!
