Justifying Their Sanities Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Justifying their sanities,
Does not mean 'insane' they are not.
Like one who deceives with lies told a lot,
Believes any revealing explanation...
Should excuse the misdeeds intended.
And with an expectation to be forgiven, again!

~Haven't you made mistakes.
To never repeat the doing of them?
And weren't lessons learned,
From them to comprehend? ~

'Of course.
I was made conscious of my mistakes,
To learn from them to not to repeat.
And with a consciousness those mistakes I made,
I left them behind to leave.
But I certainly did not with intention meant,
Set out with a purpose to ruin relationships.'

~So I apologized for intending to ruin people's lives.
What's the big deal?
I've been made to realize those were mistakes.
And I have admitted what I did,
Was a wrong road to take.
Why are my actions not forgiven and more scrutinized? ~

Justifying their sanities,
Does not mean 'insane' they are not.
Like one who deceives with lies told a lot,
Believes any revealing explanation...
Should excuse the misdeeds intended.
And with an expectation to be forgiven, again!

~Haven't you made mistakes? ~

'Of course.
But I certainly did not with intention meant,
Set out with a purpose to ruin relationships.'

~With or without intent meant...
What difference does it really make? ~
