Vengeance

Vengeance is mine

Rhyme and reason in accord,
Vengeance is mine says the Lord,
Murder is not fine by the sword,
If there be, one Judgement’s season.

No other thought does make much sense,
Universal recompence,
A plan to virtually commence,
Vengeance is the reason.

Napolean slaughtered half of Europe,
Back in the eighteen hundreds, whence,
The French suffered two wars, since,
Had to cope,
For their earlier offence,
Vengeance.

Japan may go into the sea,
Chinese murder, blood ran free,
Slaughter foul in the Pacafic sea,
No nation escapes, just vengeance free,
Will vengeance be their Karma.

Where ere you look,
Order, man has took,
And everything is measured,
Mind like man, usually planned,
But God may show displeasure :(
Don Johnson  12-jul-11

If there is reason and consequences, in the creators eye, watch your bloody ps and qs, when you go bye n bye...:(
