Cup Of Tolerance Poem by Joscephine Gomez

Cup Of Tolerance

Rating: 5.0


Leave Manila at 5: 00 A.M.?
I agreed.
All of you couldn't make it
even at seven
I said not a word.

You went North
when I had directed South
straight, when I said 'left'
lines became circles
and circles became lines
others would have screamed.
Time for you to drink
from my cup of
tolerance.

(5: 53 to 5: 54 P.M.)

Firmly and cleverly written. So many of us feel your pain. Tolerance often has to kick in when respect is not reciprocal.
