Remorse is redundant
It should be banned
From dictionaries
And word banks
Those who think
They have remorse
Should be wiped out
Without remorse
About Me
- The Tomsian Network
- Simple and ordinary. Still outstanding. Means standing out. Free thinking and wannabe bohemian. Quite to the other side of reason.... And an artist by accident.....

"GOOD-BYE," I said to my conscience--
"Good-bye for aye and aye,"
And I put her hands off harshly,
And turned my face away;
And conscience smitten sorely
Returned not from that day.
But a time came when my spirit
Grew weary of its pace;
And I cried: "Come back, my conscience;
I long to see thy face."
But conscience cried: "I cannot;
Remorse sits in my place."
by Paul Lawrence Dunbar
and also this,
Remorse is memory awake,
Her companies astir,—
A presence of departed acts
At window and at door.
Its past set down before the soul, And lighted with a match,
Perusal to facilitate
Of its condensed despatch.
Remorse is cureless,—the disease
Not even God can heal;
For ’t is His institution,—
The complement of hell.
Emily Dickinson
So Death be to Remorse!
