Regret

No matter who you are

The pope I'm sure you’ve heard of.

He’s held a council,

Many years ago,

To say he’s sorry,

For those who’ve been wronged.

Muslims, Catholics, Hebrews…

At some point in history,

Wronged have the been.

Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini,

Have only been the latest

To destroy those they hate.

Blue eyes, blond hair,

Blue eyes, blond hair,

Blue eyes, brown hair…

Beauty,

But gone.

Apology,

It is hidden in the document.

Regret,

For what they could not stop…

For what they could not forget.
