The Most Powerful Weapon Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Forgiveness is and will always be,
The most powerful weapon one has to use...
With an expressing the strength of one's faith.
Although it does take much more work,
For one's mind to find a forgetting to do.
Forgetting takes a complete overhaul,
Of one's mood and attitude.
And to do this to choose borders on self abuse.

Forgetting to forgive,
Those who intentionally threw bricks...
And other wicked things with a consciousness,
Is not easy to forget when one reminisces.
However...
A returning to revenge what had occurred to them,
Continues with no end to it.
Since the bricks get bigger and the evilness,
Just doesn't quit.

'Where are you going with all those bricks?
Huffing and puffing,
As if you are on a mission to do something quick.
With your mouth all twisted.
And both eyebrows at peak lifts.
If I didn't know you better...
I would 'assume' you were consumed with devilment.'

~So glad I am you said that.
I was going to use these bricks for something else.
But you helped me decide,
I'd be better off building a bar-b-que pit.~

'With all those bricks?
You've got enough to also build a wall around it.'

~God is so GOOD.
And always there if people choose to stay aware.~

'ALL the time.
And I thank you for reminding me of this.'
