Forgive, but Don't Forget - Laura Smith

Listen while I tell you about a hypocrite

Who fooled many with her rhetoric

To those vulnerable ones who do not believe

I will not allow you to be so naïve


They think she is some sort of wunderkind

While she hides her crimes that are her sins

Her foolhardy head continues to swell

She believes the publicity that some tell


She tells many lies that are never brief

Her story sounds like any common thief's

However, in this tale a body will lie

One of her friends will force an alibi


The press will press for details and names

She will hide her inflated head in unforgiving shame

Her grief will be like the death she caused

She will stay quiet hoping for a pause


She and her friends will hang for their sins

She'll pray to someone and hope they'll listen

She'll tell herself she was working for good

One day she'll be told that she was no Robin Hood


Soon she'll fade and be a cautionary tale

She'll be locked away receiving hateful mail

Remember that one who knew it all?

She's gone, she's gone, and took a great fall
