They sin with the sun
Begging forgiveness by night
Expect amnesty?
Some people make mistakes, knowingly or unknowingly. When the folly is realized, some apologize and others don't! I believe in forgiving and forgetting. But what when people commit mistakes all the time. Over and again. Not genuine ones. The ones which they commit taking others for granted. Knowing they'll be forgiven. And when after a saturation point, forgiveness is refused.. they still fight for amnesty? Seriously?
This Haiku is written for The Heights of Haiku - April 2012. The prompt for today is 'FORGIVE'.
arrow to heart!
ReplyDeletevery powerful and sharp lines. so true. so true.
great haiku, Pranita
Actually, i can't make out what the picture is? hmmm?
DeleteThanks dude... :)
DeleteThe picture... is just a bunch of people looking up mostly...!!!
Great one Pranita...nice take on the prompt...loved it...beautifully written... :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarabjeet! Verrry much! :D
DeleteI liked your point of view!...Forgiveness has no meaning...if it is taken for granted that people always forgive no matter what you do!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written!
Thank you Valli... it's ok to expect our loved ones to forgive us.. but it's wrong when we take them for granted! :)
Deleteand they often get it.. don't they.. you have said it so well, however.. RS:)
ReplyDeleteYes, they get it. I see not no point other than we saying in optimism that "it is to make them change". but they never do, most of the time. at least during the time it really matters.
DeleteRamesh ji... yes, they do get it.. and if they don't, they soon shrug and move on.. both ways the good ones suffer!
Delete:D in deed. the good ones suffer, only to realize this and suffer more. oh my!! poor good ones. hmmm.. :?
DeleteStrange are the ways things work!!!!
Deletestrange can miracles sometimes be, Pranita. :)
Deletewow.. so apt..I know of an aunt of mine who spends her first hours of the first part of the morning praying and she must be one of the meanest hearted people I know.
ReplyDelete:D very common, if we carefully observe. And men don't even do that bit of prayers.
Deletethe world learned to fake, so very skillfully.
I ve seen this kinda ppl too... very many!!! They use prayers just for their internal satisfaction that their sins are forgiven , to make way for more soon!
DeleteVery well written - this truth. Some people get a big surprise when the forgiving days are over.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) Totally... When expectations take the mean side, an action like this is a must... For their own good!
Deletemany do ~ well done haiku ~thanks, namaste, ^_^
ReplyDeleteNamaste Carol.. :)
DeleteThank u very much....!
If its done in sincerity, forgiveness is a gracious thing. Men count how many times we forgive and forget, but look at our Lord, He forgives all the time.
ReplyDeleteTrue... but after a certain number of times, God wouldn't forgive without a lesson taqught, would He? That's what Karma is all about! :)
DeleteBeautiful...mistakes when committed frequently and also not genuine ones border on the category of crimes...amnesty for the same?.....
ReplyDeleteThank You sir.. :) No pardon for a crime like this...!
DeleteAbsolutely wonderful, Pranita!
ReplyDeleteThank you Amit ji.. :)
Delete' they ' ....are parts of 'you'.. too ? what i liked is the defiant spirit here so well manifest in human struggles...
ReplyDeleteThank you.. :) But I did not understand what u meant by,
Delete' they ' ....are parts of 'you'.. too ?
Now, that is a serious question. Your haiku is very well-thought-out.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mariya! :)
DeleteNice haiku. Very well written with deep thoughts.
ReplyDeleteNamaste
Thank you so much! :)
DeleteI suspect your haiku describes many people. Blessing or amnesty? Interesting question.
ReplyDeleteCertainly... too many views over this..!
DeleteSo perfect, pic and haiku and really it's the reality of life. I loved the words so much.
ReplyDeleteThank u sooo much Mohinee... :) M humbled...
