Retribution
How often is it we are blamed for the fault of others?
Is this fair we ask...
We despair further and further
longing for another to take the task.
Life is very unfair.
We all knew this truth,
but how could we predict
that it would tear its way through
Our hearts as we despair longer
and longer...
I only wish to have
at least one peaceful slumber
Why can't we at least have that?
What did we do to deserve such tribulations?
We did as we were told
and followed through with the expectations.
So why is it that we suffer at the whims
of those that are most ungrateful
a peace of minds is what we want,
is that too much to ask for?
In due time, those that torment us will fall
and shall rise from the ashes
Of course after the war of emotions explode
to many unwanted clashes.
In the end however,
one will remain strong to his convictions.
Retribution onto all those that hurt us.
May we stay strong to finishing our life's mission
