Prompt From Jain Tirthankaras wine Deludes The Mind... Poem by Umasree Raghunath

December 17
Prompt from Jain Tirthankaras

Wine deludes the mind and a deluded person tends to forget piety; the person who forgets piety commits hiṃsā without hesitation

Wine deludes the mind
Forgetting what is to be kind!
Wisdom blurred
Devil's kingdom ruled!
Fear, Anger and Sorrow
Overtakes Joy and love!
Hatred comes to borrow
Your time n thoughts in a row?
Violent thoughts n deeds
As evil gets the feed?
Why nurture something so mean
When love n compassion you can seed!

Spread love!
Spread joy!
Spread life!
In peace! ! ! !
