Wages of Sin
Revenge isn’t my style.
I’ll patiently sit back,
leaving the dirty work to Karma.
Clean hands, clear conscience
Word on the street is
life on the run, ain’t so fun.
And despite all the bitches
keeping you warm at night,
You’re still broken and alone.
Mistakes have a way of
catching up to us.
And the consequences
of your actions,
will soon collect their debt.
The earthly wage of your sins Is,
years of your life wasted
in a cell.
The spiritual debt, is
yours to negotiate
with God.
But I’m certain Lucifer
is already carving out
a special place
in hell for you.
I’ll get my justice, in time.
In the jailhouse visiting room.
When I sit across from you at the table
You, close enough to touch me,
but can’t.
Forcing you to look me in the eyes,
laying the truth of who you are
on the table,
For you to live with, sober.
It’s going to be academy award winning,
best performance in a drama.
leaving you to save face
with your “boys”...
Handing you
your balls back,
then walking out.
I’ll patiently sit back,
leaving the dirty work to Karma.

If this is factual whoever wronged you is paying for it now, great insight to a controlled revenge, relying on karma and time to do their worst.

Why cause drama when all she had to do was set sail on the rescue boat, and watch his ship burn into the waves as she heads for home. Karma is an ocean of unforgiving torrents of justice. Once caught under the surface, there's no way back. If the ocean was a woman, even the most hardened of sea baring criminals knew to respect her, or face the dire consequences.

Your comments are poetry in themselves. And always perfect continuations of my thoughts. The part two versions! I thoroughly enjoy them

They are words brought forth by the inspiration of you. I offer them as gifts to help my Lady smile on her journey to salvation, and to aid the realisation that there is beauty in this world and light in every shadow.

I gave you a standing "O" for that last stanza. It also took the wind out of me a bit 😯 The first stanza describes a healthy reaction to act of cruelty...getting away first, of course.
