Apology Must Repair. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Apology asked, one dresses one's quilt.
Apology taken, one dresses one's bruise.
It is a repairing mechanism,
Sincerity is the skill needed for it.

Apology is the owning the act.
It must spring from the remorse undergone.
Undergoing humiliation is the punishment.
Displaying m magnanimity is the reward.

A bad apology tendered is worse
Than no apology. When a strong one
Apologizes to a weak one
That apology carries immense weight.
