Let God Judge Them

This is a good way to look at revenge. It is something left to someone who knows how to judge and react much better.
I like the yellow background as a metaphor for the light of God.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
Your concise poem is expressive of WISDOM. God will judge us all, and what goes around comes around--eventually. The temptation to retaliate can be strong sometimes; prayer helps!

Teri, did you see the review that dortmunder wrote for this poem?

That was something else. I guess he just don't believe. We just never know, but we do believe in our Lord, God Jesus Christ!
Comment from Mary Vigasin
This is very good advice whether you are devoted or not. Seeking revenge or stewing about how you were wronged is poison to your being and stops you from moving on. You have to believe in that person getting his or her comeuppance with the belief either in God or what goes around comes around in your philosophy.
If you find peace in your belief in God all the better.
Regards,
Mary

It is good to know that we have a advocate in our corner that is just and will judge in his own time and we don't have to worry about the actions of others.

Comment from Dortmunder
God does not exist. He is an imagined character created & perpetuated by grifters as a means to extract cash from the "faithful". It is a joke. Politicians claim "God Bless America" and yet our country burns due to the unchecked & rampant gilded age of creed & corruption we are living in.... I could go on.
Re: your poem, I believe you are in control of your life. Therefore I believe your poem to be about karma. Underneath it all, though, you seem to have chosen to believe God will be vengeful for you. That doesn't sound too altruistic, Patcelaw. Religions are cults. All of them.
When someone does me wrong, my first thoughts are pity and sorrow. Evil is a learned behaviour borne from the desperation that flourishes in a society divided by caste or class. It has nothing to do with an imagined character like God.
The third to last line is unreadable: need vindicate myself?

I will let God be the judge of the words you have written. I will always trust God to vindicate me.

You've chosen an interesting format for your poem. It works well. It's easy to fall into the trap of constantly trying to justify our actions when, as you suggest, those who question us are the ones who sometimes need to be brought to account - as they surely will be.

Words that we all need to remind ourselves of. No need for us to get all worked up for someone's else actions.
Excellent work, thanks for sharing.
