Nonviolence Includes Violence. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Nonviolence includes violence too
If it as a duty prevents violence
Or as a norm helps win the justice
Or as a form kills the less important.

Police use violence to control the mob.
Army wage war to guard the territory.
A child is recued at a cost of a beast.

Violence was expected from Arjuna,
Who had run away from obligatory
Task of defense in the Epic War
For fear of violence he might cause
To his kin and gurus in the battle.

Lord Krishna bid him to rise to fight
As a warrior to do his duty,
With a series of dialogue known as Gita.
Nonviolence includes violence too
In minimal dose to a higher result.
