Revenge sweet turning with hate
a brother rises striking blows
landing hits brother in wicked deeds
evilness within mans own soul
Cruelty crawling inside desires
suffering greed of nations they plea
Rise up against nations man at war
tearing asunder God's creation
People slowly murdering loveless
Pride a sinful act of violence
laced with pain destroying pure love
everything that once stood out housed peace
so fine cut beautiful, good sharing
caring free, in this one, big show rolls
Keeps turning, the wheel of hope
whom will speak, as we all become part
of his heavenly dust in the end
or burning remains of hell's fire

No other choice
as my shadow schemes in the sand,
lone cries on lovelorn wings give grief heart’s voice
over scorned wedding band.
Sandcastles are crumbled in undertow’s deceit,
longing and revenge; a million grains ‘neath my feet.
Avenged by briny blue’s retreat,
illusions built too closely to tide’s edge rejoice.

Acidulous feelings of hatred
perpetuates those heart
revenge is born in the dark.
The end of this road is death
where equanimty is destroyed
with irrepairable damages.
Love starts excruciating,
the deepest scars with
impossible recuperations.

death, depression, sorry, teen
I'm suffering from depression.
that only I can see.
I've tried to feel alive more than once.
But this daydream will never be.
I know death is eternal.
A decision I'm willing to take.
I've lived this life long enough.
And made my choice to make.
Whether it be with a knife.
A gun or a few pills.
I know ill be gone forever.
As my body lays there still.
Mom would be to busy to stop me.
Dad wouldn't even try.
But even the words I love you.
Wouldn't stop my choice to die.
As for all my friends.
Tell them they never cared.
And now ill get my revenge.
By giving them the pain I've shared

The cotton runs high in the Taliban sky
Resistance continues, into the south.
I watch nightly news with a heavy sigh
Not letting judgments escape from my mouth.
I see the pain that rues life for the same
For their families each suffer loss too.
For those seeking revenge or seeking fame
They know not what damage to souls they do.
Children need to come first, not the adverse
In a sinful will that tears life apart.
Bless all who try to obtain a reverse
That fight for God's light that dwells in their heart.
May love spread throughout in pink healing light
That peace may finally dwell with insight.

Edmond’s Alternate Ending
I am about to move
Though I’ve yet to move on…
…now that I’ve moved on
Or was it moved back
I found all the lack
In my alleged desires
A mind of loss conspires
For redemption, or revenge
My vengeance consumed me
Began to eat me whole
Til I realized I was the one chewing
And the graves that I was digging
Were nothing more than holes
So I stopped biting
And recovered the Earth
Won’t belittle myself by fighting
Or lower my self worth
Stooping to do battle with the trolls
I’ll just let them dig their own holes

break up, relationship,
It was a good morning until I got your letter
You admitted you didn't love me any more
My desire for revenge I would unfetter
When I returned the key to your door
You weren't at home as I’d arrived early
So I put itching powder in your underpants
I’d love to see that when you’re with Shirley
Perhaps it would put paid to your new romance
Before I collected my belongings I left you a gift
I’d sewn a dead mouse into the hem of your curtain
The smell of its rotting body would be hard to shift
Bedroom action would be curtailed that’s for certain!

angst, introspection, loss, love,
Speaking once for some levity
Speak it twice for revenge
Speaking three times so you look at me
You’ll hear me never again
I paint you a picture
Of everything you are
If you’re honest you will love me
Too bad I’m just another scar
Speaking of how to retrieve me
I sing my little songs
But when boredom depletes me
I’ll ask you what is wrong
If I speak of how to screw you
You’re just another toy
If I tell you that I love you
You’re just another desperate ploy
Riddles become my serenity
Psychopathic malcontent
If I can’t have you it will please me
The search for death is heaven sent

Brothers and sisters of the world
Let us join our hands together
Across the vast continents
Over the deep oceans
Form a giant circle
Look at each other with broad smile
Sing a mighty song of brotherhood
No more wars
No more killings
Instead
Seek peace
Seek life
No more hatred
No more revenge
Instead
Seek love
Seek brotherhood
And live as one family
On this tiny planet
Called the earth

Oh LORD,
Give me the force to withstand the
Cyclopean waves of human hypocrisy and malice.
Make me strong as to endure the suffering inflicted
By the knives of hatred and inconsideration which
Constantly pierce my heart, so as not to seek revenge
But only affection.
And finally, oh LORD, let your divine love pass
Through my bleeding wounds to heal them in
Such a degree as in the place where insensitive people
Wanted to plant the malevolent seed of vice,
Your glorious tree of virtue, to flourish instead.
Amen!

cry, deep, first love, heartbroken, hurt,
Sins that wish me hell,
Since that drives me crazy,
All I see is the duplicity,
Why is it that you did it to me?
A verse from the poison of my heart,
Averse events of our revenge,
Destined to be the bad one,
Things you did that I can't avenge.
Days where you picked me flowers,
Daze of your beauty blinding me momentarily,
Now I understand why you held my heart,
My impending cries were a delightful misery.
Severed ties and still bounded by hope,
See where we lie, grave of our own.

This poem is inspired by the second book in The Hunger Games Series. Warning- Contains
Spoilers!
Sparks aflame
Fire and rage spread
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to run!
The capitol want's revenge!
They will do anything to get it.
Back into the arena I am sent
Pitting Peeta and I against each other.
A marriage proposal
never to be fufilled
they tricked us
It will never happen.
I have to go on
a twist in the story
Tick,tock,tick, tock
The arena is a clock
All living tributes
taken out of the arena
a official is secretly a rebel
wanting to overthrow the capitol
But where is Peeta?
No where to be found
Caputured in the hands of the capitol
I must save him!

adventure,
In life's surly tusks in the frost of high morn without sun's rays; yet, the sky sheds sprinkled whispers of the day to become as a grizzly ray of scoped out hope in a hole of abysmal steely abyss as a meteorite's crater of earthy tones of red mud clay turned into heated golden bowls of fruit contained within. To throw out over a mounatain top for Goddess Kali. Three arms filled with arrows to dart back with boomerang like love into millenium's to surmise itself real-- as insanity envelopes and encompasses an out of touch reality in the arms of weeded truth!

lost love,
Small note on the road
Which I have just found
What do you want to say ?
«Excuse me, you are late»
Who’s gently iron writing
Destroying someone’s wish
And where your receiver?
And why I am writing this?
I know about writer
I know to whom was oath
I know how he was loving
For you his only breath
But you ? You think just money
Can bring you happy life
You wrote him note on paper
It was your last caprice
He stayed for while and cried
He punished himself
He killed himself to stop him
From taking his revenge
This small reminding paper
Was penalty for him
You wrote to him this message
Just to recieve the same

Acid Attack
This is what I looked like
You may say beautiful, kind and sweet
This is the ugly pig people warned me about
I turned it down
It took its revenge of his honor tainted
Ruined my life to a degree
The rush of revenge upon me
Finding a way to ease my pain
Chopped and sold its flesh
I’ll never be the same again
But a bit of relief
To all the beautiful ones out there
Seek justice
Never think your alone
Revenge

faith, forgiveness, love,
It was an altar of prayer
but God didn't rise
evil entered the house in a noble disguise.
Bullets were strewn
sanity was killed
bodies fell as corpses
blood did spill.
And hatred had the victory
on that grisly day, it seemed.
It was pain, agony and cry
they felt in their mind and hearts, they were the kin
of the happy churchgoers.
"I forgive you" those words they uttered
time and time
the evil stood in silence and just smiled.
People made a human chain
and prayed
and it was not revenge that struck the deal
but forgiveness that prevailed.
Love had its last smile
and it triumphed at the end.

emotions, life, violence, wisdom,
Venom secreting minds on a constant attack on each other
Endless malice with revenge taking turns over and over again
No tolerance for peace as violence rules all intent
Death toll, a significant signature to this feud
Enveloping affecting regions with dark clouds of so much hatred
Triggers so little, producing a stadium of blood bath
Throwing love to the gutter to build selfishness, ego and greed
At the end, humanity stands the greatest loser.

anger, angst, anxiety, betrayal, evil, lost love, philosophy,
The dull drip, drip, drip of thick, blackened blood pours
into the veins that beat a path to my heart,
with each feeble pulse, bit by bit, ripped apart
by a dark beast inside, which rages and roars.
I know from my past of lost romance and wars,
revenge has no method, it’s more of an art
that hijacks our acts till this life we depart,
or till at long last we have settled our scores.
Spellbound by payback, I choke on my bile,
and barely pay heed to the pathway ahead;
with the past on my back, each inch is a mile,
and the blue in the sky's a bright, burning red;
then one beautiful day I wake up and smile,
forgetting the reason for losing my head.

lost love, red, rose,
In the beginning,
their new life together was
a bed of roses
and nothing could smell as sweet!
Her heart opened up -
a delicate red beauty.
One day - foolishly -
he trampled that rose red heart.
Soon he was to learn
there’s no rose without a thorn,
and that scorned beauty
left her sharpest thorn for him.
Alimony’s sting
pricks him endlessly, and now. . . .
nothing’s coming up roses.

Humanity grieves with Paris, comforting her with sympathetic eyes;
the brutal attacks of November have reunited the City of Lights:
pictures, flowers and candles can attest!
Let the strongest ones seek revenge, and capture the fleeing coward;
always pray for freedom, pray for world peace and feel so empowered:
sing your Anthem, put your anger to rest!

Love is only weapon against
Any type of hate.
Revenge is not the permanent solution
Against hate.
We are manufacturing weapons to kill
Our bodies.
Souls want to be free from our bodies.
We forgot the message of Super soul,
Love for love.
Situation is out of control.
Our children live into fire.
We are sleeping with sleeping pills.
The poet writes the poem of stone era at midnight....

lost, love hurts,
Tide of river and love of woman,
Exhausted me to make a nomad,
Had ceased the flow of life,
After thirty years of acclivity-declivity,
Hath merciless allegation to the river
And mind with woman.
Oh, aggressive river,
So mighty hungry you got!
Robed the last sign of my homestead,
What bygone takes you in that killing revenge?
Heavenly peace made my childhood to youthful days;
You robed the last memento!
Only survival is that innocent heart…
Cursed woman,
Take, I give you that innocent heart,
Keep carefully, if you can’t;
Break it into pieces,
Turn all a bloody tinge you bloodthirsty witch,
Get fulfilled your ever thirsty desire!

PRAYER II
Oh LORD, give me the force to withstand the
Cyclopean waves of human hypocrisy and malice.
Make me strong as to endure the suffering inflicted
By the knives of hatred and inconsideration
Which
Constantly pierce my heart, so as not to seek revenge
But only to demonstrate affection,
And finally, oh, LORD, let your divine love
Pass through my bleeding wounds and heal them in
Such a degree as,
In a place where insensitive people wished to
Plant the malevolent seed of vice,
Your glorious tree of virtue flourishes instead.
Amen!
