The Final Bill

 
It’s not that I don’t have the capacity to be angry or hate
I just don’t want to put any priority or energy into this trait
Because for everything that has happened in the past
You like to linger in the emotion trying to make it last

I must admit I am human after all with the capacity to feel
But my choice to keep my reactions to myself helps me deal
What you may take as indifference I see it as a time to reflect
But I can understand if you take my silence as disrespect

Your bigotry and ignorance toward others is a sure sign
That there is something inherently wrong or on the decline
Because if you show one face here and then another there
It’s something that those around you should be made aware

I don’t have any hate for you nor do I wish you any ill will
But the universe does eventually send out the final bill
I have paid for many mistakes I made all along the way  
So the longer you delay yours the more you’ll have to pay
