Turn the other cheek
But do not speak
Tear out your eye
But do not cry

What it does matter
Evil gets punished
One way or the other
Now or in the forever

Sorry to say it Frattimonde, but I found it quite trite and lacking any real depth.
There wasn't a witty spin or an insight, just cliche morality that can be found written with a much more powerful message elsewhere.

For what it is worth, I did like the last two lines, mostly because it was a quasi-slant rhyme. The opening stanza though, is way too sing songy, and makes me think of little kids at sunday school repeating canned morality without any real thought to it.
