Taking a Life…Implications
I struggle with the maliciousness of people,
who carelessly destroy lives and walk away
as if nothing has happened,
having lied and acted their way to support,
as they deliberately cause harm
and irreparable damage to entire families;
the psychopath is accepted
and the innocents are blamed,
all from jealousy and personal inadequacy.
I understand Karma, the ways of life,
I know I have forgiven
to let go of this travesty,
but in my heart I have also considered murder,
a letting go of all common sense
to appease the crimes committed,
for justice lives in life as cause and effect,
and I do know it is not my responsibility,
however I still weigh the cost, in ending an evil.
I am a pacifist by nature,
never hurt any living thing,
but when one is faced with malice
of dark and evil intention, I wonder
if moral laws still prevail,
if a stain on my soul would balance in the end,
by ridding a world of evil doing;
of course the cost is too great, my code stoic,
but never has anyone so maliciously
hurt myself and my family.
They say mud sticks,
and that appears to be true,
for all manner of slanderous lies
have sullied by life so carelessly,
and it seems people are quick to join in,
believe such lies that anyone who truly knew me
would just laugh at the absurdity,
and all the rest believe the manipulator,
the perpetrator of hurt and heartache.
Everything is a lesson in life, and this is mine,
and I have learned to forgive,
so not to remain entangled,
yet it is hard not to wish this soul be gone,
for the sake of my children
and for the solace of a permanent detachment,
but of course I would never take a life,
but sincerely, if to protect my loved ones,
I would care less about taking this one.

I can certainly understand this train of thought. There are some people who do not deserve to live – a person like that will meet their just end without us taking physical action. To stay true to our Self and follow our intended path will bring forth justice. It is not easy to live with this type issue, yet we rise above due to faith in our Self and divine truths. Very emotive, expressive verse, Tony.
Thanks Phyllis, for understanding my feelings; it is hard to let such injustice alone when it has had such horrendous outcomes in circumstance. Take care
I will keep you in my heart and prayers as always.
