An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind


An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind, in a world where revenge comes, always after we cry, An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind, no matter how pure, revenge is our crime, we feel the need, to justify, and rectify the countless times we've been scarred inside.

The other day I read a short story about one man chastising another in revenge for having his honor insulted by this other man. It inspired this piece, just because of how it relates to the plot in the story. It made me realize how petty people can be, giving me the ideas for this poem.
