Sweet Revenge

 Sammi Scribbles Weekend Prompt -  # 450 - "Sweet" 

Poetry or Prose - exactly 12 words


Revenge is Anger Unleashed

Never So Sweet, Never Complete

Like Forgiveness Is

I enjoyed this one for sure. Thank you  for the prompt.

Revenge has never suited me. Once I became an adult, I shelved the petty revenge I dealt out as a child. It no longer seemed worth the time and effort. Spending time conjuring up pay back is time I can spend on other things. Of course, I have been lucky so far. I have had no incidents nor experienced deep personal pain or loss other than the usual pain and suffering of living.

It surprises me that there really is not many good revenge tunes that don't follow the revenge is good mentality. So, I decided to add a song from the outfit, "Playing for Change". This group remotely brings together musicians from across the globe to produce wonderful covers of favorite songs from back in the day. They are a non profit. I am not asking anyone to donate. I don't do that as a rule. But if you like the video, check out some of their other covers . Here is an excellent cover of "When the Levee Breaks", originally by Led Zeppelin.
