That Performance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

That Performance



Do you forgive those,
Who make mistakes?

'(?) Of course I do.
That's the only right thing to do.
I would think.
And besides...
I could not live with myself,
If I didn't.'

That's godly.
So God like.

'I wouldn't go that far.
I said I would forgive those,
Who make mistakes!
However...
They do not get another opportunity,
With me to make more.'

But God isn't like that.

'And I ain't trying to play God.
Or practice the doing of it.
God does 'that' performance,
All By Him or Her or Itself.
And better than anyone else.
To be here, there and everywhere.
With it done to provide comfort.
And acknowledgement for misdeeds.
Me?
Unlike God,
I acknowledge my mind 'and' time,
Has its limits to be made known.
