A Different Sort of Hate

Just a thought

Come and take a look at the enemy's gates...
Dark iron and grey bricks all cluttered.
Eyes fill with fire and a fist baring white knuckles...
The broken bottles and witnesses absent
Arouses unquenched revenge held back for so long.
How sweet (it feels now) would it be to inflict pain...
but only words will be the weapons used.
To see the enemy feel remores and guilt.
Bothered and never able to sleep, never able to feel normal again.
Happy.
Now this would be true vengence.
Don't you agree?

This poor old world is about as chock-full of hate and revenge as it can bear, right about now. Better even than words only to exact your revenge, consider the possibility of forgiving your enemies. If you take the high road, your knowledge that you are closer to God than they will be the best revenge of all, and who knows? They might even choose to follow your example!

That's a great way to look at things and a great way to end this poem. Kudos.

In warfare. The mental part of warfare does more damage then the meeting of two forces. China used mental warfare in the Korea war. Left many men lost and unable to cope in real life.
"but only words will be the weapons used.
To see the enemy feel remores and guilt.
Bothered and never able to sleep, never able to feel normal again."
I agree with the poem. To create fear and make them fear sleeping is quite a victory. A excellent poem.

I like it.

Ah....words are indeed...the most cruel weapon...the most poignant torture...causing the deepest scars of the heart....

Physical vengeance serves no purpose so in theory if you really wanted to inflict pain onto anyone, words would the best weapon of choice. Words penetrate the mind and instill themselves to be remembered and bring that said pain, over and over again.

This is fantastic! I really like the message behind this.
"How sweet (it feels now) would it be to inflict pain...
but only words will be the weapons used."
