Pointing

Glory Sasikala 1964 (Kolkata)

I mean it God
when I say I don't want to hurt
I don't to be unforgiving
but when someone comes along
deliberately gloating, hurting
taunting, flaunting, jaunting
counting, daunting
can you wonder that I'm pointing?
but know it's not who I am
It's my anger speaking up for me
So, God, know I mean it
when I say I don't want to hurt
I don't want to be unforgiving.
