Poem
A vengeful eye for an eye but mind you, to avenge yourself ain't easy as apple pie Indeed a punch for a punch or invite your foe for a delicious malicious lunch to dish out nasty retribution, yet revenge is a dish best served cold! But a tooth for a tooth will it actually soothe? A horrid scowl for an irate pout you scream coz she did shout! Ah, that biting desire for sweet revenge On the mind it can bitterly scavenge! Sweet it might seem, sweet at first feel but it's really more sour than an orange peel. Then there's the danger of meting out in excess There's a need to don self-control's harness. One may try to spread retaliation evenly on the slice of his arch enemy Rat-a-tat tat on his door for some payback tit for tat? To chuck out all plots and thoughts of seething revenge poses for man at times the greatest challenge. Is it then so natural for this human brat to cherish and relish a tit for tat? But if so many of your chores complain of your negligence you might as well put off too, all desire for vengeance. Any wish for poetic justice, spit it out in poetry Harbor no yearnings for getting even except maybe in virtual reality. Ah, alas as Jesus's humble way to offer the other cheek is for ordinary man perhaps a task too docile and meek.
