People change

I have heard

So don’t be hard

Just give them

A second chance

When it beckons

People don’t change

I’ve heard also

Give them

A second chance!

You shouldn’t

A leopard doesn’t

Alter its spots

So be careful

Once beaten

Twice shine

Now I’m confused

Should I grant her

That second chance

And be beaten again

Or should I trust

That her awful spots

Have invisibly changed
