Revenge

by Rusheena   Sep 13, 2010


What's something that I can never have?
What's the one thing that I would kill for?
What's the poison that I would risk dying for, just for a sip?
What's the price paid for playing a dangerous game?

It's that burning desire that never ceases, in most
It's man's favorite kryptonite, that's secretly coveted
It's that decadent craving that I have yet to lose a taste for
It's that sinful nature that best portrays the inner-beast

Taboo to few but a regular practice for majority
Either persistence or waiting will get the job done
Extremely motivating at best,
But it will tarnish the soul and corrupt the flesh

Nevertheless, I dream of fulfilling all the more
Consequences, at the moment, are of little priority
Yet, they are branded in my mind for safekeeping
But, the force that drives me is pure deceit

Future, false satisfaction fills my, once pure, heart
With constant provoking, my flesh devours this feast
O, What big appetite I have for this sweet buffet of sorrows
Unfortunately, I will have to purge myself of "idiot's delight" afterwards

My mouth waters for this tasty treat, that will linger forever
Just imagining the scent of the innocent blood is too much to bare...
I pity the bystanders' expressions
Even the most gruesome scene would look like "child's play"
Because I aim to devastate

O, Savior, give me conviction or strike me down
Because my lust for destruction is consuming me...

Woe to my tainted faith
For it is the cause of my vengeance
But with vengeance comes sobriety
Although I will regain conciseness, quickly, recovery will be slow
Nonetheless, I will recover
Woe to you, demon....He will get His revenge

    Wow!! This poem is amazing.... I loved it.... I love how you described revenge and how it's so sinful but many people seek revenge... and I love the line when you show that revenge has filled your once pure heart... Because I always feel that way if I do something wrong and feel bad... It reminded me of the feeling that I get..

    Anyway great poem!
