On Revenge Poem by Francis Duggan

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.
