An Eye For An Eye Poem by Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu

An Eye For An Eye



There are some persons you will see, and looking at them with your left eye, it is just so right to strangle or hack them to death.

So there are some that will see you and looking at you with left eye, it is just so right to strangle or hack you to death.

So some will see such person who feel right to strangle or hack you to death would want to hack or strangle such a person to death.

To me, I should kill you,
You should not be alive,
To another, I should die and shouldn't be alive;
And it goes on and on like that.

You offended me,
And I am hurt, then, you should die.
I have offended you
And you are hurt, then, I should be slain;
And another to another and to another.

I, you, him, her and we all
Have in sequence offended our creator, in words and thoughts, yet not a single thought of hack or strangle to death of us by our maker.

Seen, an eye for an eye,
The whole world would wildly walk wacko.

-The Patriot, Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu (son of man)
