In the midst of awful perversion
when ethics has taken back seat,
honesty is a matter of weakness,
all illegitimacy only wins,
the world is run by hypocrisy and
natural corrective forces seem to be inactive
what is the possibility of stopping our ruin?
Fools behold!
Don't make merry of the situation,
can't you see the inevitable behind you?
The universe is neither bad nor good,
it is neutral due to balance of forces.
Since ethics is mauled now
the harmony has been disturbed and
the opposite force must become active
to restore the equilibrium.
Soon or later it will be visible
and you will be on the run.
You, the perpetrator of evils
I can rest assuring you
that this is certainly your fate.
Otherwise the universe can't function.

thank you for entering my contest
I am a bit confused as to where, in this very beautiful write, revenge would rear its ugly head?
