On Revenge

By some people the word called revenge is mentioned every day In some sort of context or is some sort of a way Some take their revenge through the law in the law court And revenge can even seem sweet for a defeat in sport But some people's idea of revenge it does seem Is in taking their payback to the very extreme On the target of their revenge they launch a savage physical attack And death sometimes is the result of payback Revenge can give rise to hate and hate can lead to serious crime And payback can lead one to years of prison time Revenge is not sweet if the law you do break You do not have the right for one's life for to take Though someone has done you a serious wrong The act of revenge to you should not belong.
