Virtues



No fun is it.
To be subjected to negativity.
Intended to use as a tool to ridicule,
Anyone picked and meant this done.
As the one chosen,
Pretends to be of thick skin.
Without emotions felt to feel them.

No fun is it either,
Observing a payback years later...
Being served as deserved to witness,
Unexpectedly.

Does it take patience and kept tolerance,
With faith to pray daily.
To hear these are virtues tested.
Expected,
To digest before and seldom after...
Awaiting to detest how long it takes,
For a price overdue to pay.
Yet,
Remaining to believe and accept...
Whatever goes around,
Eventually brings evil doers to their knees!
