John Chrysostom. Saint.
Golden mouth in Greek.
His voice will never be faint.
Because his immortal soul will always seek.

He asks us to forgive.
Not seven but seventy seven times.
This simple command will always live.
Whatever we suffer from others’ crimes.

We are the dishonest servant.
He forgives us our misbehaviour.
We walk out immediately and demand from others redress with thorough cant.
We spare not a thought for what is given us by our Saviour.

One day I may learn.
In some other life I may discern.
