Temper your judgement with
Mercy for failures. The
Ego's indulgent, but
Might's in our nature.

Night has no pity for
Street sleeping strangers, so
New clothes are given, warm
Sweet insulators.

Lions spill blood with their
Retracted razors, cut
Like barbers snipping hair
Red tongues licking *****.

Trees prove that strength stems from
Powerful roots digging
Trenches in time succumb
Please be forgiving.
