Cycle of Everlasting Revenge


Many generations ago on our very world A man of the caves picked up a rock. He struck it to his neighbor's head. Killing him with the shock This event is told in many ways Some may know them by Kane and Able The day man killed man Hence did it create the cycling turmoil As history ran its new course This cycle spread far and wide. An ideology that has desires for revenge For their comrades who have fought and died. One man dies in the hands of another His brothers, his father, and his friends enraged They took up arms to strike back Thus repeat a similar phase Their enemies fall to their graves But their families are as well watching by the side They are too determined for vengeance. Thus giving the cycle its place to reside. Many people work hard to stop such madness To step in then cycles path to prevail But this cycle seems too large and wide of its power That possibly God himself has failed We are cursed with the cycle of violence The cycle of revenging strive The sad theory is that may never end The only best solution is to survive.
