So true. Revenge is often forced upon us. Could be God willing. There is a limit for being cheated, Powerful penning 10+

So true, there is one thing about a man/woman of rage readily expressed is: there is not so more than what we see, no scheming inside, no hiding the feelings. Now, there is another one with murder in mind, but he/she can smile still.

I hate the way you talk/I hate the way you smile/I hate the very sight of you....intense hatred for a dishonest/immoral follow is brilliantly expressed! This poem has many facets to seriously be pondered! A wonderful work!

'I am no better than you'............. This is a vital realization. If it is there, even if one is angry at the other for an offence, it is easier to forgive. It is also natural for anyone to be angry, but that anger has to be under check! You have expressed your feelings so openly and naturally! A great read! (10)

All humans have the same emotions. We are unique but the same in many respects.

Rose Marie Juan Austin looks an angry teen aged girl in this poem, obviously such a girl looks more beautiful, and she looks more beautiful in this different poem.

The revenge is justified because...You are a fraud/You tricked everyone/By the power of your social position/And with the stroke of a pen.......thrilling expression Rose! Liked it......10
