Redeemed Poem by shimon weinroth

how often have you said I'm sorry
and feel better, often irregardless of
the injured party's feelings
and being sorry have purged yourself

how often have you deluded yourself
into thinking, sorry is enough,
and only alleviates you
and is not other regarding

how often do you find it easier
to erase the guilt feeling
by sorry,
and not face the issue

how often do you need to let off
steam and pentup emotions
seeking to redeem yourself,
for the eyes of your peers

how often is the seeking
real and not imagined,
suffering is tolerable
for the sweet after effects
so you think!

how often are you
propelled by moral searching
for a better you,
and to renew your ideal
