The rite of reconciliation
Starts with the admission of wrong.
It is not for crude posturing,
To show off who is really strong.
Reconciliation must respect
The principle that ‘Right is might’;
Not to be manipulated,
Or exploited to ‘Might is right”.
All the recorded ‘facts’ involved,
Must be examined for value.
They must be truly verified,
And given their real, proper due.
When premised on first acceptance
Of blatant immorality,
It negates the truth and justice,
Bowing to insincerity.
All good intentions must be used
For sincere reconciliation.
This healing national process
Must start with true introspection.
When solid facts are established,
Both sides must confirm acceptance;
‘National reconciliation’
Then can become our new conscience.
