Sinners go to the lord

Felons approach the court of law

Both await a fair judgement, one that could perhaps strike a chord

For neither wish to highlight their flaws

Many seek forgiveness

Some seek closure

The rest live worried about their wellness

The wronged begin to confer

Whether it is nobler to pardon the lost soul

Or to hold all our grudges, never seeking console


The author's comments:

the funny thing about mistakes is that they're never intentional. that's why people label them as such. and yet, even with it having an ulterior motive, an action performed from innocence or one that is even misunderstood, they still have the biggest impact. maybe only momentarily, but when you realize your mistake, your whole world seems to fall apart, and the guilt eats away at you. 

 

 

elephants are known to be one of the only animals who can empathize, feeling emotions similar to guilt and regret after doing something something out of fear or rage
