Revenge

Revenge

written by: Eliza Segiet

translated by: Dorota Stępińska

 

Trapped in reality,
doomed to chance,
without understanding,
we try to judge the times
which are plagued by human hatred.

Seemingly from the sidelines,
and yet within,
we – the thinking ones-
destroy
and kill – without reason
or maybe just for self-glory?

Those who destroy rejoice,
the defeated ones weep.
The surviving losers
look for a way to revenge.

We shape the future
at our own risk.

The world is a bullet,
revenge is a pain,
death is life’s mistress,
who we should give a chance
so that, without anyone’s help,
she could manage our last hour.
Let her choose.
