An Eye For An Eye
The Twin Tower fell A dastardly crime A fact not diminished By the passage of time. The perpetrators were Saudis, But Saudi Arabia supplied oil A comfortable relationship The West didn’t want to spoil. They had to do,something, That was quickly understood, So they invaded Afghanistan Just because they could. After twenty years of chaos The West withdrew And the rule of the Taliban Began again anew Leaving...

Arms stretched wide, I welcome none I look to no one for I am lost And cannot obtain the soul in which you so strongly desire from myself I am pitying Yet all knowing to I So how can I still remain as clueless as the beginning of time Deny thy name, and come forth with your rage; You can unshackle these...

An Eye For An Eye
An eye for an eye blinds the entire world. By this action one negates the whole truth; And so creates a boomerang unfurled. With bitter hate and villainous uncouth, There is fallacy that might is right, thus By this action one negates the whole truth. With sordid haste, being so atrocious, The world’s play-book flutters with rage, selfish; There is fallacy that might...

Goodbye Eye For An Eye
Dear sweet child, So full of anger and remorse, Terrors running wild, Be weary of this troubled course, An eye for an eye, Seems understandably justified, A comforting lie, When you live every day terrified, Embrace your heart, Break those cold rusty chains, Time to make a new start, And cherish the warmth that remains....

3/3/17 Do you believe in an eye for an eye? Better use your mind With determination and effort applied It's in your best interest to try Because time flies Opportunities drawing nigh, just may pass you by Involving wins, losses and ties In the end what you happened to find Could've led to suprise And speculation towards opposing sides Respect to animals and human kind We all...

An Eye For An Eye, Makes Us Only Blind
Generations come, generations go Many praying to leave the world better Than the ones who came before In every single person there is bad In every single person is good We all harbor hate inside us We all harbor love Hate it causes blindness, bitterness and sting It refuses to listen to reason Leaves us crippled and mislead Love it opens doorways to a better...

You really don't deserve to breathe this air, you really don't deserve to look at me. He knew the front door, he knew the stair that creaked. He knew now how she did it He knew now of her deeds. Thinking of them gone forever The burning ate away his soul He knew he had to end it But one thing was...

Do you do things bad when somebody does bad things to you? Do you give an eye for an eye? At the moment, it seems like the logical thing to do But for the long run, you don't want to do that You don't want that evil thing that you do to get back to you Oh yeah it will...

An Eye For An Eye
Your son was a lowlife hooligan. Last year he murdered my son. When it came to having the ability to show mercy, your son sure did lack it. He shot my son right between the eyes because of his expensive jacket. My boy gave him the jacket but he killed him anyway. When I identified my son's body, your son...

Is this my moment of clarity or another illusion It's hard to fight a battle when it feels like you keep losing I question would it be best if I had a short fuse or try to just defuse this Sometimes it's useless and with knowing that, some choose to abuse this An eye for...

There once was a couple of brats who engaged in continuous spats. The result was a tie when each scratched out an eye - an old-Biblical tit for a tat! The brats awoke bleeding and weak when, half-seeing the havoc they’d wreaked, they discarded their clothes, their behinds to expose - a new-Biblical turning of cheek!...
