Forgive me
O Friend ;
You my friend who has
a thousand faces ,
forgive me
for this impudence ;
to sit upon thy judgement ,
and once again
this cold winter night ,
lift the pen
and pause --
to think about
you,
and your " Strengths "
( how I wish I knew ! )
and your " Weaknesses "
( there is none without one ! )
Last , but not the least,
your " Potential " --
My impertinence
pardon
dear friend ;
My claim to omniscience
is hollow ;
But then
I wear a crown of thorns
and walk a razor's edge
I am duty-bound
