REVENGE

Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord

Curst be the heart that thought the thought
And curst the hand that fired the shot - Anon


Shooting From The Hip

Emotion triggers a gut reaction.
The wounded retaliate
not by taking aim
but by firing wild and wide.
In the heat
they feel forced to fight,
to take revenge,
to make a mark.
It is not calculated.
It is not cold-blooded.
It is firing from the hip.
Shooting in the dark.
