Patience - 1. Chapter 1

Forgive the blessed, for they are innocent.
Unknowing of their blunder,
Indiscriminate with their curses,
And as such know not good from evil.

Forgive the young, for they are still foolish.
Unseasoned by winters,
Unwounded by battles,
And as such know not of the keen edges of their swords.

Forgive the gods, for they see only the tops of the clouds.
Ignorant of the earth,
Blessed with eternal sun,
And as such have never known rain.

Forgive the beautiful people, for they are still children.
Untarnished by disappointment,
Unsoiled by rejection,
And as such have yet to know empathy.

Instead it was a prayer to no one. all I can say is it is the lonliest thing I have ever seen. Wish I didn't understand it.... or rather understand what it means to me. no more please
