To Err is Humane

 To Err is Humane

As I clean the floor

As I clear the broken pieces

As I usher my kid inside

As I hold on to my tears

I know there is an itch out there

That is far away from reasoning

That is far away from accepting

That can turn stones to mountains

That can rage into a flame

That spares none around

That burns families

That needs no trigger

That pounces on as surprise

That thrives on ego and hurt

That hunts for revenge 

That can never be quenched

 

I try not to question

I try not to rationalize

For I have learnt to do so

I have learnt it the hard way

It was trail in the dark

It was a lonnng lonely trail

 

I can clear away the scars

I know I can

For they are not permanent

For I have learnt to do so 

For I have the heart to heal

For I believe in love

For I know ERRORs are NOT CRIMEs
