An Eye For An Eye

An eye for an eye blinds the entire world. By this action one negates the whole truth; And so creates a boomerang unfurled. With bitter hate and villainous uncouth, There is fallacy that might is right, thus By this action one negates the whole truth. With sordid haste, being so atrocious, The world’s play-book flutters with rage, selfish; There is fallacy that might is right, thus. By this token, without any blemish, An eye for an eye may seem justified; The world’s play-book flutters with rage, selfish. While millions of people are petrified, Flailing hopes and dreams only fantasy An eye for an eye may seem justified. All lives matter in eyes of Gandhiji; An eye for an eye blinds the entire world. Flailing hopes and dreams only fantasy; And so creates a boomerang unfurled.
