Revenge


Wounded friend...I see your pain.
 But what justice will you gain?
 Seeking vengeance for your scorn
 This pleasure is hell-born.
 You can't undo what caused your grief
 No matter what your belief.
 Though may taste sweet upon your tongue
 The brief pleasure is soon undone. 
You're still left with the wounds of aching sorrow
 But just remember there's a new tomorrow.
 Don't hang on because of your pride 
The strong forgive and put anger aside.
 Revenge is bad for the soul this I'm sure
 It will not help your heavy heart endure.
 So my friend, calm your fretfull nerves 
Evil will get what it deserves.
