Biting Back Poem by PRAVEEN KUMAR English Poems

Wise is meeting back while you deal with logic,
While mad dogs bite, you wouldn't bite back.

While wise men scorn, you condition them to reason,
While learned mind trips, you guide it by conviction,
While an enlightened heart falters, you light up its emotion,
With crazy temper aroar, you see nothing but confusion.

A seasoned soul seeks a place, a cause and a time,
Whatever it does, has a refrain, a sense and rhyme,
But, alas, deranged sour souls, as free as mad dogs,
Run amuck as take legs, lie in filth like hogs.

Mad dogs may infect rabies, infest blood stream,
But, biting back mad dog, brings not back former frame,
Fighting back a sickening night, an unwise labour lost,
For, night is hollow darkness, haunted by senseless ghost.

You bask in daylight while live in awakened world,
Where all is fair and right and in reason's mould;
You sink in evil night while live with outrage in silence,
Where all is mad and foul and a den of evil's licence.

Something must be met back and negotiated with,
Some others must be suffered in silent pain 'neath;
For, the world is good and bad's inseparable broth
And you meet whatever comes on your uncertain path.
