Apology
Dearest friend or sworn enemy?Both accomplices of hideous felony;
Sublime grieves surrounded one,
The other an icon of unadulterated vanity.
Destiny dictated the treaty's terms,
Emotions were sacrificed at the cursed altars;
Serenity was lost in the chaotic drama,
A miracle was needed to erase the stigma.
The past told a different tale;
One of trust and belief insane;
But the present portrayed a different scene,
Coloured with hatred and total disdain.
The catastrophe curved a few mysteries;
Of unspoken respect and ignored glories;
Still waiting for time to revive their liberties,
And say to each other, "My sincere apologies."
