On the Corrosive Nature of Vows of Vengeance

 

Vow

Eternal cycle of vengeance

till the cycles ends in nothingness.

When the coding was done

either someone copied it down

wrong, or it was corrupt

in the first place. To attest

revenge is a vote of confidence

in one’s own ability to despise;

and to vow ‘dedication’ is to promise

to live under the light of a premise.

And when the asseveration to clip the wings

of any bird that sings a different song

comes into play, watch the sky crash

and the vowers gloat over their success.
