19881221 103 at 31000Justice and Vengeance collide
or merge.
20111020 - yesterday in Sirte.
The brother of a 103 victim said,
“I’ve waited over twenty years for this day.”
With only memories, Nicole’s mother
said, “My grief will be relieved when
I’m no longer part of this world.”
Justice, allowed to be sweet,
is not.
Justice can be satisfying at best.
Vengeance is not allowed to be sweet
in civilized society,
only bittersweet.
But as society is not civilized,
may Vengeance be Sweet?
Mad Dog of the Middle East,
begging for mercy,
shot by one of his own,
with his own golden pistol?
(a) Vengeance?
(b) Justice?
(c) mercy?
(d) Bittersweet?
(d) Sweet?
(e) All of the above?
Blessed are the merciful
for they shall obtain mercy.
