Only A Fool Forgives Poem by Adams Elizabeth Oyarese

Forgiveness is but a show of self gratification
Portrayed by a deceiver to escape condemnation

To showcase self a being of virtue and righteousness
Every man would gladly play the two faced card of forgiveness

Yet the cunningness of forgiveness must be unraveled
For the selfish nature of man has made man crooked

To offer freely to a stronger person tolerance
Yet, from a weaker person for the same crime seek vengeance

Man has fine tuned the show of virtue to suit need
Placing priorities first upon what feeds his greed

The loyalty of men is forever bought by reason
With a changing appearance designed to survive every season

That a lion hunts not a galloping polar bear
Gives not a zebra the courage todwell with him so near

The nature of man declares him not a blatant fool
For every man would sharpen first his most profiting tool

So if ever man is seen forging such show as he lives
Believe not in his words for only a fool forgives
