Guilt Poem by Manthra Hariharan

Guilt



Is the devil to blame?
or
Is the angel to blame?
no one receives fame
when anger burns like a flame
and when guilt
takes over the same.
The heart and soul are filled with shame.
The shell shall feed from the bowl, but,
the soul shall feed from the heart
when the bowl is empty
the shell shall fail
and
when the heart is empty
the soul shall fail
The one to blame oneself is because,
the heart is filled with guilt, Thus,
the soul shall fail to the guilt.
guilt overwhelms those it possess and bends those it comes near
but, when the soul with courage shall stand
the guilt shall fear to come near.
