I blacked his eye
with the first punch thrown.
I took pleasure
in hearing him groan.
I spun around,
and kicked his head.
He fell to the floor
as if he were dead.
I won the fight,
and walked away.
What happened next,
I couldn’t say.
I felt remorse
deep in my heart.
Harming another
is no kind of art.
I turned and walked over.
I helped him up.
I ordered two coffees,
and gave him a cup.
I wouldn’t forgive,
but he did somehow,
from this pivotal day,
we’re best friends now.
I’ll fight no more.
This made my heart pure.
I’ll not harm another,
You can be sure.
