Etiquette

How to accept an apology with grace:

Understand humanity
doesn't understand
the word sorry.

Realize, integrity,
does exist in an
"if, an or but."

Some people, while genuine,
feel no remorse for their actions.
Yet they're honest,
sorry for the aftermath.

I know, at times, it's much easier,
to blow off steam...

To scream in someone's face,
to exclaim,
"IF AN OR BUT! HA!
WHAT ABOUT THAT I?
OR DID?"

Try to be kind, and say instead;

I understand the effort put in to this apology.
I'm unimpressed your sickly sorries.

Everything you've done
is incredibly infuriating.

However, I realize an apology
can be hard to find.
There's both promise and integrity
in a person who's willing to try.
