Sonnet: Forgive Them God, Lord

Forgive them God, they know not what they do; Forgive them Lord, they know not what they say; Forgive them God, they are my siblings too; Forgive them Lord, they seem just bad today! Forgive them God, they were all born with me; Forgive them Lord, they suffered really; Forgive them God; they were so good truly; Forgive them Lord, they have done their duty! Forgive them God, the tempter has them prey; Forgive them Lord, they were so sad most days; Federal been God and send your guardian fay; Forgive them Lord, they have innocent face! Forgive them God; I’ll pray for them instead; Forgive them Lord; better You strike me dead! 28-5-2001 Perundurai, ERODE. T.N. INDIA
