Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.
The Cure
The allure
of the cure
can be quite
hard to fight,
when sold right.
Even when the
price s high,
a cure is hard
not to buy.
Righteous anger
seduces quick,
it’s hard to shake
outthink or trick.
So ask yourself again,
if you are quite sure,
you know what you’re
so desperate to cure.
Corruption?
Humiliation?
Of age old ancestors,
through retaliation?
Corruption never
goes away,
just learns a cleverer
way to stay.
We’ve reached a
good place now.
To enjoy it, we can choose,
or chase vengeance and lose.
For if you wage
this ugly war,
you’ll lose yourself
so you better be sure.
Yes, your enemy
can be destroyed,
by replacing your soul
with a gaping void.
When it’s all over,
what will you gain,
besides emptiness,
and another’s pain?
For vengeance is greedy,
never content,
until its host is consumed
and utterly spent.
