An Eye For An Eye

Who adores an ancient lore chore
And loves to see gore and wage war
Yet sore pouring pain?
This stems from an old brain
A story of man’s evil core

Hope you're well these days. Time goes by quickly. I'm just glad to be alive and feeling a general sense of joy from life itself. Hope you are too!!

An interesting one, Duke. I think it can have several interpretations!
