Lay-by

They say I had a raw deal

As raw as my wounds

Taking all the blows

Taking all the insults

Paying for it with love

Paying with forgiveness

For the rest of my life

I don’t disagree

Costly it is indeed to all

The cruelties of Man

But a relative bargain

When compared to paying

With like blows and insults

And compounding interest

Some call justice and jury

But I call – compounding injury.
