Man of Contradictions

I would believe in angels if you said they exist.

I would believe in God if you showed me the God in you.

I would believe in humanity if you were humane.

So show me mercy and help me believe in you.

Do we preach Mercy or show Mercy?

In one, you use the tongue, and in the other, the heart.

In one, you touch the mind, and the other, the soul.

But showing and not telling gives Mercy its name.

Mercy, how UNmerciful can we be?

Mercy, how merciful can we train ourselves to be?

Mercy, Mercy MERCY in action modifies thought

And turns the mind into a fruitful plot.
