People look away
    it is easier to find fault in me
    than to hold him accountable.

His position wins for him respect
    despite his actions of disrespect.

He is assumed to be:
    blameless, holy, good;
    compassionate, caring, together;
    but he is also human.

In his humanity is the capacity
    to do harm, to hurt others.
    And he has hurt me.

I do not blame him
    though he is responsible.

I offer forgiveness instead,
    because that's who I am.

Ironic: my virtue sets him free.

they say love
comes from the
heart

but the heart isn't
the catalyst of
love

it is the heart
who suffers the most
pain

but gets all
the recognition of
joy
i hate you,
so much it hurts.

you're a dork
you're an idiot
you're a klutz
your jokes are lame
you annoy the hell out of me.

oh but what irony is this?
the things i hate about you,
are things i miss the most
whenever you are not around.

you may wonder,
why i hate you so?
it is because,
i keep on falling for you.

all those things i hate
made me fall hard for you.
i hate them so much
because they remind me
you don't feel the same,
the same way like i do.

Human, human, I know you are that smart
Decide what’s best, or when to fall apart
Like when to stop, or when to make a start
Why you’ve to stay, or why you’ve to depart

But since you are too curious of this world
Instead to stand you’ve stayed like firmly furled
You care not if your path now turns like curled
You trace them like a shadow that is whorled

Human, human, are you now feeling dry?
Are you bored of smiling, want to cry?
Do you feel now the need to sound like sly?
A disaster, you crave now, want to try?

Oh, here it is, the recipe you want-
A cup of fear will really help to daunt
A spoonful of insult or a fresh taunt
At night surely Achilles ‘ heel  will haunt

Do not forget to mix a pinch of hate
More wrong thoughts for a glass you need to  sate
Add jealousy and envy to your weight
Eat with greed on disaster’s perfect plate!
Beware!
