Getting Even Poems | Examples


Premium Member When Evil Hides Among Their Smiles

She whispered to me, "I hope you suffer well."
God heard her words, and he smiled,
for if suffering is what she wanted for me,
her hopes would soon be smothered in hell.

To give my best to those I loved,
It meant walking away to save a life,
when an evil person who wore a mask,
threatened to me to take their lives.

This very thing it happened to me,
no one knew or could they see,
their lives would be threatened If I told,
about the evil things that I saw unfold.

I made a choice and told it all,
a mask wearer amongst them still walks,
I'm happy to say I will never regret,
In an eight by ten room is where it rots.

The day will soon come when I've gone,
the mask wearers mask will slip with smiles,
but it'll be too late for I will tell,
though I'll never hope for all to "suffer well."

Evilness can hide inside those we know,
they hide it well with lies they tell,
they claim their the victim by tears they show,
whilst scheming with a devil who sleeps in a cell.

Getting Even

Vengeance is sweet.
Is it really?
It tastes pretty sour to me.

An eye for an eye.
Ok, so now both of you have only one eye.
What does that prove.

Revenge is like eating poison and waiting for the other person to die.
This is the best way to describe getting even.
It can be sheer suicide.

Vengeance is a dish best served cold.
I don’t like my food cold in most cases.
So, it doesn’t sound good to me.

With age comes wisdom.
I am old, so I hope I have enough
wisdom not to eat poison or cold food
or lose an eye taking an eye.


Premium Member Skinning the Cat, Aka Look Who's Laughing Now

Cat’s eyes
	Telling lies
You stand in the shadows,
	to hear my cries.

You taunt me.
	You laugh at me.
You hide behind windows,
	and create my misery.

You ain’t no lady.
	your intent is shady,
and all you want is to be adored.

You steal my money.
	Then want some honey,
and bring me down when you get bored.

Now I get it, 
	when you say I’m like all the other boys.
But now you can forget it, 
	because here I stand,
for when you treat me like a toy
	I will treat you like a man.

Two can play this game, 
	and now it is time for you to lose,
cuz now I’m neither boy nor a man.

Any sport to me is all the same, 
	go ahead and choose.
cuz now I’m a lady, neither boy nor man,
	and now forever at your games you will lose.

Premium Member Breakup Before Valentine's Day

It is wonderful that you unilaterally
Decided to split up with me
Before Valentine’s Day
I am elated to make the following announcement: 
The cake will be shared with my friends
The chocolate will be given to my cats and dogs
The candles will be donated to the church
My lovely mother will receive two bouquets
Of flowers and tomorrow morning
I will place three of your twelve roses
On my beloved father’s grave
And yes, we will have a blast without you.

Hebert Logerie

Beastly Betty

Beastly Betty badly breaks her brother’s
Buttocks with a bat upon his butt.
Broken, beaten brother barely bothers
Bellowing at bawdy Betty. But

Because bad blood between both babe and bro
Builds baleful bias brought by Betty's bane,
Beleaguered Bob bestows a bitter blow.
By blasting boiling bile on Betty's brain.

Getting Even

Why is it they believe anything?
All you do is shovel lies down our throat
They just open their mouths
And ask for more
When they should open their eyes
And see how things are
We won't give up
We will convert
We will reveal those truths that 
You carefully conceal
We will shatter your delicate plan
You will descend to the purgatory you came from
All those souls you annihilated
Are turning on you 'cause now they see
You must be exterminated
After pillaging their now burnt out cities
The Anarchic People, savage, wild, fun
They chased you down the lightless alley,
And now you've been
Out run.
