Will Not Forget

I was taught to forgive the people who sinned against me With their lies and cheating and betrayal, but not their blaspheme Forgiving them of those sins I will not give it a second thought But forgetting what they did to me, to forget it, I will not. I will not forget the lies and the times that I was used When sinning were their actions and they all were amused They then asked me for forgiveness I gave it to them one and all But then they did it again, the actions of them I will always recall. I once gave food to a starving dog that came into my site It growled at me and then the hand I fed it with, it did bite I forgave that dog for what it had done to my hand But I will not feed a starving dog again, that is my stand. You can always forgive, but you cannot forget a loss or a defeat If you do, then someday the same incident you might repeat Man must be forgiving and charitable, which is righteous and true But he must not ever forget, or he will turned like the screw. I walked up a street that I have never been to before Strangers mocked me and laughed at me and at me they swore I forgave the people for what they did to me that day But I will not forget that street, as I will not be any-ones prey. A forgiving person can sit anywhere that he wants to sit He forgave all of his enemies as no sufferings did he commit But when his back is turned sinners will find what they sought To forgive any man I will, but to forget what they did, I will not. I once trusted a woman with my belongings and my house She said she loved me, she then robbed me her words were a rouse The bible said I should forgive her, and I did forgive her of that sin But will I ever forget or trust her, I will not and never again. They say that a bad and sinful person will be happy with their own And a forgiving and righteous person will always be known Evil is like a worm and like any worm it will crawl any fruit that will rot I will never eat that rotted apple, and to forget about it, I will not.
