This movie is worth seeing. This story is about forgiveness and finding compromise that enables everyone in a country to gain a share in the common good. We are all a part of the same family in this world -- the human family. And we share a planet with many other beings that need our respect and graciousness to share this planet with us.
I am not perfect
How can I lift my voice
and condemn
someone
condemning me
and yet I do it
bitterly I weep
if that person
is close
to me
the closer they are
the harder it is
to forgive
every time I open
my mouth
the sound gathers
friends
who join me in refrains
I justify
my pain
God forgive
my impatience
forgive
this short sightedness
forgive
my own lack of
forgiveness
help me hold still
and be at peace
amidst
these storms
we all
come through them
they are here
to test us
to prove our metal
I am sorry
I failed today
to maintain
quiet resolve
I can and will
do better
It strikes me that these trials we go through give us strength, and that strength is what will help us endure to the end.
