We make our choices
Vengeance pleases the moment, the ego
It is easy to settle a score,
To deal the equal blow, or
A worse one perhaps
Vengeance after, we losers become
For in vengeance, we sanction
Existence of evil, defeat of human essence
In vengeance we equal the evil
we seek to correct or condemn
It takes a greater strength to let go
To know someone betrayed
Destroyed or killed
Forgiveness needs a stronger mind
Vengeance a weak one
Ignorant minds mock forgiveness
Of vengeance a killer begets a killer
Forgiveness sanctions life process
Vengeance is the weak man's walking stick
Forgiveness the strong man's oar.
