Sorry??

What does the word even mean
An apology that is supposed to be given when felt
The word does not erase the feelings
That absolute absurdity of it

As a child you were made to say your sorry
Looking in that same child’s eyes
There is not an ounce of remorse
Confusion
Anger

Adolescents are no better
Sorry rolls off the tongue to remove you from sight
Why say the word when they have done no wrong
Too sensitive
Delusional

Adults are a quagmire of word play
Rather the meaning of the word sorry
Sorry that you were caught…
Sorry that you heard it that way….
Sorry that you are having difficulty…

When are we going to realize
Sorry is only believed when the soul feels it
Within we have a natural detector to know when it is true
And when it is false

I have lived a life accepting and giving, sorries
And in this life time
Short as it is
I felt the truth
And given my truth

I feel such sorrow
For all of humanity
Because sorry cannot erase the damage/the carnage
Still, sorry falls from lips with no remorse, just avoidance
