Nobility
Is vengeance noble?
Does a man seek honor before life?
Is there a sword above the mantle?
Are dueling pistols waiting for use?
How long does a person spend arguing?
Reweighing priorities
Justifying hatred and vengeance
Preparing the soul to hold the pistol
Nursing anger hoping it will grow into wrath
Making grief into a life purpose
Death itself can become a goal
Life not worth living without seeing death
The hand touches the sword
Reading to bring justice
The crime known in the mind
The punishment planned in detail
Yet what is justice?
Could one blame an innocent man?
Could a failure blame others?
Could one seek revenge for revenge?
Is vengeance noble?
Shall we seek humanity’s death?
