REVENGE

Won't you come
and sup with me?
Old as father time
am I.

We will share,
hours of bittersweetness.
Pain like a two-edged sword
will also be ours.

Clymenstra and Agamemnon
I caught in my web,
round and round
we went, no end in sight.

As a snake
I'm ready to strike.
Revenge am I,
generations we can change!

So won't you come and
sup with me?
