Traitor

sorenbarrett

Brutus, Ephialtes, Quisling, Judas

Benedict Arnold, Qin Hui, La Malinche, Mir Jafar

Names of infamy each once a baby

Was it destiny?

Guilt maybe

Done clandestinely

A silver coin

Traded

          Should traitors be forgiven?

          • sorenbarrett

            Absolutely forgiveness is for the forgiver not the forgiven

                    My friend, I often wonder where moral collapse truly begins. One decision may define a life forever, but countless unseen choices usually lead toward it. This left me thinking, Soren. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                        Quite a Rogues Gallery.
                        As for the Cause's? It's all debatable.
                        A good Write.

                          A powerful reflection on betrayal and the question of whether a person is destined to become infamous or simply shaped by their choices.
