Revenge Is Beneath You

Revenge is beneath you 
By Michelle Morris
27/07/2020

Revenge is not a worthy pursuit - 
It is a waste of time and energy, 
And doesn't suit you... 

We are light bearing souls - 
Crafted from the stars and have
Loftier aspirations than 
Leaving hurt or scars... 

Revenge is beneath you - 
It harms all it encounters;
When you turn to revenge, 
Your whole psyche flounders... 

No matter the victory 
Over any evil foe,
Revenge harms you always - 
It is a stain on your soul...

Gershon Wolf June 18, 2023 at 8:34 PM Especially revenge born of anger -- never helps the situation, does it?! Michelle Morris June 21, 2023 at 3:20 PM Absolutely. Hopefully we learn and grow. Of course, when I see the wars going on, it's really upsetting as it's all about revenge, ego and rage. Take care and stay safe. :-)
