Two Cheeks To Turn Poem by Randy McClave

Biblically, I have just two cheeks to turn
Then you I will burn,
I will then consciously retaliate
My vengeance will be your unforgettable fate.
Hit me once and I will turn my cheek
Not at all because I am weak,
But, because how I was raised and taught
And peace and friendship is what I have sought.
Strike me twice and I will grin
And I definitely will stray away from sin,
You will not feel my total wrath
Even if at me you might joke and laugh.
Strike me a third time and this I will tell
For you, my response to you will not end well,
I have no more cheeks left to turn
Now a biblical lesson you will definitely learn.
