Vengeance

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR

Vengeance

 

The path of vengeance

Is not easily taken

But when the nation

To its core is shaken

We must act in accord

With conscience

 

There is a line

We dare not cross

Lest we sacrifice ourselves

In our souls we sense the loss

Our compass on a shelf

 

Our enemies are great and strong

And morally bereft

They pull us where we don’t belong

We fear there’s nothing left

 

There will be no vengeance taken

Not today not tomorrow

We’ll suffer through the madness

And exorcise our sorrow

 

Tomorrow will be better

Better still the day after

For we will find the key to hope

in faith and in laughter
