The Ring of Diamond

Old sayings are gold for many Proverbs are power house of wisdom to some ‘’Tit for tat ‘’is one such ring of diamond Worn on their necks, revenge is its another sweet name The lure or the allurement of it is so strong That hardly could I, too, avoid to use it To answer any misdeeds done to me So I hate those who hate me This is a very simple equation And very equitable with the third of law of motion And stationary things I dislike, in fact, there is nothing stationary In relative term everything is in motion You, me, their hate and my reaction But I have a problem with myself For granted I cannot take old things and old sayings as they are I put things down side up And upside down Then stir it with my long handled spoon The reason is obvious I cannot carry forward a lie Or live in falsehood or say like a sage Love those who hate you I am not a prophet either, otherwise, I would say Hate the sin not the sinner I am mare a poet, a pretty writer And have a big habit to pretend what I am not And develop a knack to show people That I am too busy with my love And have no time for big hating business Neither the people who hate me Nor are the people who by mistake use the old sayings indiscriminately.
