Terms Poem by Richard Jarboe

It's not just that you got to give,
Sometimes you got to give up,
Slavery without trial has no release,
Do you know the blessing of peace?

When harsh is the treatment,
No remedy will be found,
It leads to rebellion,
It begins underground.

To those who surrendered,
With terms terminating trust,
Try to remember,
It reflects on all of us.

Feeling unease with the innocent,
Proves you life sentence,
There's no room for correction,
Without terms for repentence.

Fair treatment begins the peace,
With terms not to be broken,
Vengence and hate shall dissipate,
Relying on terms unspoken.
