Revenge - To What End
Nonchalant eye curt, births feeling of hurt,
belied expectation the causation
of hearts contraction, as ego thoughts spurt.
We did choose to nurture expectation;
now unable to deal with rejection,
we self-impose suffering day and night.
Even revenge will not set matters right,
for as said, if we take an eye for eye,
the entire world will be, soon without sight.
As clear truth dawns, our heart in relief, sighs.
