Fire For Fire
A virtuous man put his energy on vigilance.
Vilest men channel their synergy on vengeance.
Fists that are always fast to give a fight
Will create eyes that cannot see the light.
An eye for an eye will create more beggars...
A bullet for a bullet will will breed more burglars.
Fire cannot quench fire, my dear brother;
Forgiveness gives us great grains to gather.
