Vengeance (Seed of Evil)

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR


Vengeance

 

Vengeance is the seed of evil deeds

Even more so than hate or greed

To seek vengeance is to forego grief

So that sorrow vengeance feeds

 

We all suffer loss and heartbreak

We feel that vengeful yearning

But our wiser selves will overcome

To understand our need for learning

 

For vengeance feeds more vengeance

And violence is answered in kind

Until the whole world is set ablaze

And virtues fall behind

 

Far better to let our anger go

To let it run its course

Than to get entangled in a maze

And mired in remorse

 

We place our faith in knowing

That justice will find a way

The guilty will be punished

That dog will have its day
