Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold Poem by Ali Rahimi

Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold

Rating: 1.0


You want me to pack?
Get my backpack and vanish on the dark track?
Like a little mouse awestruck,
Or a Mexican wasp caught in a stinky bottleneck,
A spicy ready-to-eat duck,
Or a worm creeping and crawling under a heavy brick,
Am I just the chopsticks?
Dancing to the music of your culinary desires,
Hassled and bullied by your fingers,
For your fish and chips, mayonnaise?
Be afraid, be afraid, and be afraid,
We are the hazard, the shock, the menace,
The chance, the luck, the talisman, the spill, the providence,
We are the thunder without any angelic frock,
We are the typhoon without any tricks and politick,
We are the warrior on Himalayan bedrock,
brutal heartattack,
Revenge is a dish best served cold,
Revenge is a dish best served cold,
We are the thunder, mercy to nobody, white, red or black,
We are the key, and we are the lock,
Unbeatable tireless oak you cannot rock,
A desert ocotillo, a cactus you can't pluck,
In the vast untamed land, scorching heat, no mock,
Revenge is a dish best served cold,
Reckon I am your scapegoat, prey, your knickknack?
I am just a gadget or a gimmick?
You are the time and I am the hands on your clock?
Rotating around you over and over again,
That's unstoppable pain,
What do I have to gain?
I feel horribly homesick,
Missing my mates in my bones, my soul, my flesh,
Like a sad parrot, sick, sick,
I am a stranger on the road, a loner, lovelorn, lovesick,
Like a tiger crossed with a mouse, a lion crossed with a frog,
Or a dog crossed with a grasshopper!
Or a man crossed with a fish; left alone on a dry dessert,
But I will be on the horseback,
Ride and ride and ride, like a Chevalier, a Cossack,
Power, fire and vigor never will I lack,
All over Terek, Don, and swim all the Ural River,
I am the gladiator, warrior, vengeful fighter,
Like Maximus Decimus in gladiatorial arena,
Avenging murders of his family and his emperor,
I am born to be wild, born to fire, born to fight,
Beware, be afraid, be afraid, and be afraid,
You shall cry for your dismal gloomy fate,
Weep your inglorious destiny,
Beware! Revenge is a dish best served cold,
Do it in the heat of the moment,
Sweet revenge,
Hang, drawn and quartered,
Peeling skull off the body,
State revenge by capital punishment, lethal injection, or crucifixion,
Take your pick! ! !
Beware of the revenge, punishment, retribution, the counterattack! ! !
Revenge is a dish best served cold………
