Hypocrisy And Justice
You spit in their faces, then wonder why they are so angry.
You call them deceitful, then feign surprise when they lie.
Have you forgotten that you screamed they were dangerous? Do you not believe your own accusations?
Even docile candles can burn if provoked,
But you have neglected to consider your own portrayal of fire.
Would it be wrong to defend their actions? Or would it be worse to ignore how you caused them?
Karma is a goddess in her own right,
Vengeance is her lover and companion.
Both hope that eventually, as you wallow in self-pity, you wonder what would happen if you had called them kind.
