The One Way Street of Revenge

The seeds that dig deep into the heart rise up with all kinds of vengeance speaking with a voice that's deceitful casting upon one-lifetime sentence When one seeks to get revenge turns into a street that goes all one way no u-turns along this certain route bound are you to follow and stay This is a journey filled with rage tensions of passion upon you mount one thought alone fills your mind getting revenge blurs you not to count The one you are searching for hoping to bring about a nasty end whose reward will it ultimately be? the gravediggers know none are a friend So two graves will be awaiting for no one will live to fight this one one's end is clearly seen for the two no victor here in sight absolutely none

You are such a gifted and talented poet, I'm in awe! This is a deep, powerful insightful write! Ahhh revenge - a dish best served cold - it's a lose-lose game where no one really wins and it always ends in some form of disaster! It's always better to just put pride/hate/anger, etc. aside and just walk away. Bravo - excellent work! Best regards. Pandita

G'day Gordon … hate, deceit, revenge etc. have one thing in common. They eat you from the inside until you no longer see reason - thank you Gordon - Lindsay

Such a bad vibe - revenge and jealousy, for jealousy is what normally sparks revenge - a hateful sin is bound to occur from these feelings, one will perhaps die immediately and the other doomed forever, worse than death this would be! A very perceptive, clever and sad though wonderful write, Hugs dear friend, Jennifer.

Nicely penned Gordon, it makes one ponder thoughts....Revenge like jealousy is fueled by rage and always has a bad outcome, yet some people feel the need to get revenge to satisfy their hurt!
