The Unlikely Penitence

Points had to be impressed upon,
proven and put to test

Oblivious you may have seemed
but the results were manifest

No one were permitted perspectives,
but your own standpoint

Dammed most associations
lest some proffered a counterpoint

What good is penitence
after inflicted damage has been made

Too late is to darn the fabric
which with time has since frayed

All your vain assumptions
had no substance whatsoever at all

Your adamant kind of convictions will
play truant in need of recall
