I don't know anything

I don't know anything
I don't know how it is
to kill
to be killed
to give orders
for death
to pull the strings
of fate
of others
like the emperors of my world

all I know is to forgive
eye for an eye
would make me blind
tooth for a tooth
would make my mouth empty

all I know is to forgive
even those that have
left deep wounds
in my soul and heart
violence is relative
choices are clear
I choose to forgive

I don't know anything
all I know is honesty
all I know is how to
strip away my hollow justifications
and take responsibility
for my own faults and mishaps
