Revenge: The First Pillar of Faith

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down,
Yea, and we wept when we remembered Zion.
And we hung our harps on the willows in the midst thereof,
For there they that carried us away required of us a song;
Yea, they that wasted us required of us mirth,
Saying: "Sing us a song of Zion."

How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth;
If I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom on the day of Jerusalem;
Who said: "Raze it, raze it, even to the foundations thereof."

O thou daughter of Babylon, which shall be destroyed;
Happy shall he be that uses thee as thou hast served us.
Happy shall he be that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rocks.

- Psalm 137

Satyagraha!
