To Those I Offended Poem by Randy McClave

To those who I offended in 2023
In any manner or in any degree,
From something that I had posted or might had said
Or from something I have written or read.
I have looked back to way back then
I know that I hadn't lied or committed a sin,
So, my actions I honestly defended
When you said I offended.
So, this I say to my acquaintances and every friend
To those my beliefs I will proudly defend,
Today is now a brand new year
And here are my beliefs I hope for you to adhere.
Before, my thoughts and reasoning you disapprove
Instead of myself, why not you try to improve,
This is factual and I will tell you a little more
If you do so, I don't have to do it again in 2024.
