Call

turn the other cheek, I learned.
but it’s so hard to do
when it is a wounded creature
determined to wound others
and drop poisons in gardens to survive

should this be a calling for a rise to a need
I shall go forth and deal with this creature
though for I don’t know what future holds
I pray that I will come back safe and sound
I hope there will be happiness in the end
