Sorry

Sorry ain’t enough,
As it rolls off your cuff.
It’s just a reflects to hide your defects.

You can’t earn her grace
From her wounded face;
She gives it freely, yes freely.

The lies you’ve told
And back stories unfold;
In the shadows doubts creak.

You spin it forward
You little coward;
Writing a new glory filled story.

The hypocrisy
Of our democracy
Beg Christian lies to be gospel

Sorry doesn’t cut it
When hit in the gullet
But smile arrogantly and win the day.

You can’t earn her grace
From her wounded face;
She gives it freely, yes freely.
