Analysis of Apologize Now

Treasia M Black 1963 (MORRILTON)



It is wise to inquire about

correctness to save

yourself from a senseless death

Instead of only being known

by words that impress

Each other's flesh

Like dust that covers

The motionless that stands still

frozen in place

And in fear we blame

The ghost that never did exist

but we needed to sound believable

so we pinned the ghost to the scene

to hide the truth.

Only the illogical thinker

Will continue in the quest

Of being wrong

So that words would be said

That all was right

And the end will not

Need a confession

To the reasons

Why it died

Because death has nothing

Good to remember

But the spirit will not

Let the soul rest

and in hell

will keep it alive

until it remembers all the sins

it has done.

So go ahead and apologize now.
