Violence

I haunt you every day and tempt you to wield me
The identity that you seek
The fear that you harbor
The anger that you hold deep in your bosom
All bring you to me for I am their only refuge
Do you have the courage to go past me?

Every easy way out from the banality of Life, you resort to me
You deploy me through your words and actions only on your loved ones
For what is Love? The ability to inflict me upon some one without guilt
So, ask yourself what is Love? Do you have the courage to embrace Love bereft of me?

I am fear finally manifesting and taking birth
I am the true testimony of survival instinct
Can you go past me? I challenge you!
Can you go past me and walk the path of Buddha?
Go ahead and try it out.

Non-violence is not cowardice
Non-violence is having the courage to inflict me but choosing not to do so
It takes more will power to win over me than you thought
I am your weakest self talking to you
