he offered them mercy


the choice he had to make
to love or seek revenge
to offer love, kindness
or to mete out retribution

God’s hand was upon him
in an act of healing, reconciliation
he offered them mercy
he had the power
their lives were in his hands

he offered them mercy
grace to heal the breach
the schism between them
the love he felt inside
