Regrets!

By John Tamakloe

Oh Regret!

Oh, Regret, You are always 

An Afterthought Word,

When All has been

Said and Done’s, and We’ve refused 

That’s When You Come To Mind!  

 

Oh Regret, you Feature 

Prominently, Only after 

We Have closed Our Eyes, 

Shut our Ears To advices and Warnings 

Oh, How We wished! But it is too late. 

Many are Still, In your Prison. Others

Will join soon! 

 

Oh Regret, you have 

Haunted many to Their graves, 

They  lost the Opportunities They had 

To Correct Their wrongs instead 

They Hardened Their Hearts! 

 

Oh, Regret, many Have your 

Name on Their minds, but are Shy to 

Admit, confess And Receive pardon

And Forgiveness They will die In 

their errors The Supreme Judge Is 

Waiting For them! 

 

Oh, Regret, You Have 

Tormented our Consciences

Made us restless, We are

Unable to sleep at Night 

Because we Have refused 

To heed your Admonition 

Help Us!

 

Oh Regret, you are 

A friend to the Humble

But an Enemy to the 

Proud! You prick 

Their conscience, but 

They are dead! It is

Only the Humble who

Benefit from you. 

 

Oh Regret, oh Regret 

Have Mercy on Us

Even in the last

Moments and Hours of our 

Foolishness Be gentle 

towards Us Wake Us 

Up from our foolish slumber. 

 

Oh Regret, Regret 

You are the last That comes to mind After we have Acted 

Unwisely towards Each Other. Continue To prick our consciences! The Humble will

Acknowledge you, fools will Reject You.
