Gentleness Poem by Raj Arumugam

Gentleness



Go down the path of peace
take the road down gentleness
walk the way of meekness
and one day a tribe will arrive
and beat you to a pulp
and beat you so good
you'll never be able to stand up again.




(from The Migrant - notes of a newcomer (February 1997- July 1998))
