Ripples

Why flagging out my shortcomings?
If you can, do forsake my mistakes,
And ignore my flaws.
If they spill on your tiled floor,
Mop with caution, keep it opaque.
You can tell our story,
For the sake of history.

Spread not assumptions,
with a defamation perception,
as the sole caption,
for I've sole rights to my actions,
with no one's accretion.
Let the voice of the past,
Always be heard in the past.

Ofcourse you can be a judge,
But in order not to misjudge,
take precaution,
Sought after the original version,
The reason for such bleak decision.
Not to cause a ripple, a wave,
To the calm waters, let sleeping dogs lie.
