Come By the Sword, Die By the Sword
To return home that was at a walking distance.
She used to stop at a bar to freshen up a bit
One day she noticed a man staring at her.
As days passed, he befriended and bonded her.
It became a daily routine to talk over a drink.
When one day, she went to the rest room,
He poured a tasteless powder into her drink.
Next morning, she found herself in his bed.
When she was about to shout for any help
He showed her pictures of the last night
She was victimized for months silently
Till she committed suicide because of
Date Rape drug, known as Predator drug.
Come by the sword, die by the sword
Didn’t work, in this case of the woman.
Good people are passive, not aggressive
They believe in, “If a man slaps on your left cheek,
Offer your right cheek for him to slap”
A swordsman fights his opponent of equal strength
Who has sword in one hand and chili powder in another
Throws into his eyes and overpowers or kills him
Theory works but in the war or duel situation.
Jesus didn’t say “All who live with sword, Die by sword”
**He told Peter to put his sword away, and said
“All who draw the sword will die by the sword”**
**Matt. 26:52.
