Consider when wronged, oft angers flash
Vengeful desire may demand grand paths
Wish not death upon those causing harm
To quiet tolling bells of hot alarm
Cast not this spell! Balk at a curse from beyond
You live inside of them; the end is never undone
Instead, let your suffering incite with tact
An avenue less final, or as desperate an act
Choose a course of harm, not so persistent
Causing anguish, and freezing their existence
That shows them humility like never before
Perhaps leaves them writhing, on the floor
To ponder their salvation, and then refrain
From sending out injury and causing pain
What may make them pause, and perhaps atone?
Ask the universe to send them a kidney stone.
