Tit For Tat

"Tit for that is a fair game",they say; A tooth for another,an eye for another; One grave to a grave; blood washes away blood! Darkness inspires night; tears dried with tears! It is a slap for a blow; no harm is left undealt with; No, it's not like a Bible with slap the right,I give the left, The misperception of "fair" Push me into the pond,I drag you to hell; Spill my secret, I take your nudes viral; Snatch my man,your uterus,I evacuate; Ruin my beauty,your life, I'll claim; There is no fairness,no justice, It is pain for pain, nothing else,but pain for pain; That's tit for tat,what they say is fair. Where would I be? Where would you be? With all this going on around, Hit me,I explode you; You insult them, and they set your mansion ablaze; This,reminds me of 8year old Jacob, Jacob accidentally killed Malcom, And that was the end of his life, Jacob was sent to the farthest, thickest jungle, The excuse being; animals lived in the wild! Jacob was an animal. Two sons,one mother; and the mother lost both just like that; Tit for tat is a fair game; point at the fairness in the game! Sin doesn't save us from sin,purity does; Breaking my heart,me crashing more innocent hearts, Hurting me and I, going after you, to tear you apart; The origin of endless agony! We learn from our masters, Christ is one, Came down to earth,to us,in holiness, To wash away our evil with his blood; He could have come to avenge instead;- may be that would be the fair deal! A deal,in which redemption would be unheard-of, A game in which,we,all would be doomed to die. I leave,but I say this to you; Remain loyal to those you love, much as it seems as vanity! They will betray and hurt you; forgive them; even when wounds still hurt, Forgiveness is one way to healing and moving on better. Spread love,by living with love,dying in love; Vengeance sweeps the remains out of your sight, Vengeance leads to war, unending! All this,the world has labelled "fair", Study God's word,seek to learn what he wants from a sinner, To men,what tastes good; to God,is bitter; Live, therefore,as God has led you; Tit for tat is no fair game, but a fast path to ruins!
