It is one of those beautiful compensations of this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

A Value Attached to Match a Compensation

My total being is within.
Not without as you may suspect.
You may believe I should reflect worth.
With a value attached to match a compensation.

My total being is within.
Not without as you may suspect.
You may believe I should reflect worth.
With a value attached to match a compensation.

I am compensated.
But beyond a value you would never be able to designate.
My total being is within not without as you may suspect.
With a value attached to match a compensation.

Even I am unaware of the depth of my treasures.
As long as I know they are there...
My concerns I keep at a minimum.

What Would Be My Compensation?

And what would be my compensation?
For applying your constant aggrevation,
Towards years of my devoted dedication.
Now that you have discovered...
My qualifications.

Would you like I should dismiss...
The hurting lies uttered,
From your deceiving lips?

And what would be my compensation?
For a forgiveness through tears,
I tried but gave.
Throughout character assassinations,
And slanderous comments from you that were made.
Taking my friends...
And turning family members into foes.
These are just but a few,
Of those evil things done you have exposed.

You are my mind's thief
Please give me your mind baby
As compensation

Atonement ceremony

Atonement does not atone for the offence
Done by one until one's made atonement
Direct, personal, to the one offended
And until the offended is prepared
To forgive the offender in response
To compensations and repentance made.
Atonement demands no ceremony.
Feel the tone of it; you get atonement.

We will often find compensation if we think more of what life has given us and less about what life has taken away.

Justice

Justice is seldom found on earth
Although we want it most!

If the victim is poor
And the accused is rich
There should be a handsome compensation.

If the victim is rich
And the accused is poor
There should be less compensation.

I prefer death sentence
To lifetime imprisonment
And any other penalty to fine
Since the criminal may repent
And become a very good person!

Therefore the lawmakers should rethink
In order to establish true justice
In all spheres of judgment.
