EYE FOR AN EYE....

He inflicted the pain upon me

so nerved!! I swore so would I                         

I could do anything to settle the account

even if someone had to die.

My reaction proved quite promising

It anguished him with the wounds 

But naive I was to think 

that I was immuned.

Vengeance I imagined was an immense ocean

able to quench my immense thirst

unaware of the turbulent waves 

that quenched me first.

Because every single moment 

i lived then was a bane

As I realized that I was in the  

predicament of guilt and pain.

I wondered if I could have prevented 

the pain I still bore as soon as 

my heart reverberated Einstein's quote

Strong forgive ,weak revenge & intelligent ignore.

Not till the very moment 
I repented for being unkind

I realized Mahatma Gandhi's words

Eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
