Getting Even

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

Assassin

Killing bit of soul everyday
Is only one gun hammer click away
Hidden behind the blanketed curtain
Hidden from sight so sure of a win
And shielded force from the light of day
A murderous horde of sold out souls
Claiming blood beating fearfully cold
For crimes of unwitting imagination
Committed and unsuccessfully sold
Without communication

The Cost of Revenge, Part Iv

I was so shocked
but then I took stock
of the look in my grandpa’s eyes,
And understood
that his word was good,
that, in truth, he had almost died.

Now he has passed,
but the truth still lasts:
betrayal has a heavy price.
I tell you, son,
do not be the one
who’s caught stepping out on your wife.

Don’t be untrue
or you will undue
whatever good

The Cost of Revenge, Part Iii

“And then I turned,
my mind truly burned
said,’What kind of a sick mother
would go coerce
a child of hers
to sleep with her own half-brother?!

“ ‘You are a fool,
and a mother cruel,
no matter what my father did!
To prostitute,
and try to pollute,
and to do it with your own kid?!’

“And she did say,
‘To make that man pay
I’d go much further

The Cost of Revenge, Part Ii

“It was a race
going to my place,
our emotions out of control,
went for the bed
and my lust-filled head
focused only on it’s one goal.

“Our clothes were tossed,
they were soon half-off
when she froze and gave me a stare,
In all my time
never had my mind
ever gazed upon such despair.

“Her face a fright,
she cried,’It ain’t right!’
Then she leapt up and

The Cost of Revenge, Part I

My blood ran cold
when my grandpa told
the story you’re about to hear
of moral laws
broke by great grandpa,
that would bring all involved to tears.

It was one day
in seventy-eight,
I was a young buck of eighteen,
I felt in love,
it had bit me tough,
as it so often does to teens.

He sat me down
then he looked around
to ensure that we

An Old Fool Who Is Sharpening a Dagger of Vengence

although revenge is said to be sour in the stomach
but sweet to the mouth and that is why it doesn’t matter 
what happens afterward,
the old fool sharpens the dagger
to take revenge on those who made his life miserable

in the unquenchable flames of long harboring grudges
the shadow of the old fool squats down between a heaps

In This Act of Pain, I Take My Vengence

Beyond the illusion of skin and polite talk a shadow dwells within me, whispering unto me my deepest ugly thoughts, my secret sins, my foul intentions and slowly devouring the goodness in me.

it draws its filth from my chosen path smearing it with deceit.

The stains of the fear of having to lose an anticipated love

Vengence of the Dead

grab the razor
see your a player
in this game called death
how long will this pleasure last
you yell "stop!"
am i going too fast?
suddenly im gone
stranded in hell
to burn forever
"was it worth it?"
you will ask
my answer shoulda been no
my answer woulda been yes
i just didnt care anymore
you act like you never did.
so goodbye forever
the lifes fading from my

Vengence of the Furies

Shadows seeming to come alive
Light playing trick’s in minds eye
Sound so soft it is barely heard
And .. Nobody anywhere utters a word ..


Silence reigns with no soul
Pavement sweats and seems as glass
Cloaking mist flows through the town
Harbinger of what must be found ..


Eddy of sea smoke wafts the streets
Beauty and horror the first to meet
Justice

Vengence

Move the mountains
Move the trees
Rain and thunder
Split the seas
Dove of ark
Spread disease
Bring the nations
To their knees

Vengence By Plastic

If someone wrongs you...
Is cruel and clueless...
And you want to get even...
Wait till they're shoeless...
And hand them a pair
Of shiny plastic shoes,
You can't buy one,
They only come in twos...
Then take them upstate,
On a non-returnable
weekend trip...
Set them up with a bedmate,
Young and alluring...
Snickering secretly,
While acting assuring....
Give them a bed,
And leave them alone...
Call all your friends,
Quietly on
