Pardon Them

The one who holds down a slave

Will not live free too

The one who keeps the scores

Will not play at other games 

The one who points a finger

Will not see blind spots

The one who sows a bitter root

Will not reap sweet leaves 

The one who avoids a fall

Will never learn to walk

The one who scoffs at peace

Will not leave the battle ground 

The one who must always fight

Will not think for the troop

The one who forgives a debt

Will not lose tender mercy 

The one who lives to serve

Will not overlook dusty feet

The one who pardons a neighbour

Will not lack a helping hand
