Revenge

In the world of darkness,
which only knows sufferings, 
lies a pleasure unknown,
that entices our feelings. 
In the quest for justice,
we create an opening,
where its shadows creeps,
and a nightmare begins. 

As a web, it encircles us,
in the coil of our vengeance, 
slowly moving further away,
from the cause of righteousness. 
Like embers being fanned, 
by letting our anger burn,
each memory would revisit the hurt,
consuming our thoughts and emotions. 

And we forget to live,
care for friends and family,
diving deeper into our hatred,
missing out of better opportunities. 

Revenge...
A silent poison, 
corrupts our mind,
by stealing our peace.
And we wander forsaken lanes,
for avenging our insult and pain,
to satisfy the hurt of our pride,
regardless of the consequences. 

But, not all battles should be fought,
many could have seen settlements,
an act of empathy would have helped,
if we choose to forgive and forget. 

So, let the kindness bloom,
embrace love, renounce hate,  
do not venture into the tempest,
destroying self, drowning in our vengeance.
