Lex Talionis

A moment when reason

Has gone astray

Suspended by threads

That begin to fray

What I’ve seen I can’t forget

Yet the World keeps turning

Am I left without regret

An eye for an eye

Hollowed apathy

Weakened will

Emotional Mendicants

Blood to spill

It is folly to accept

These deeds unchanging

When it’s your turn to reflect

You’ll too late realize

A moment when reason

Has gone astray

Suspended by threads

That begin to fray
