The Sinister Chain Poem by Khairul Ahsan
The Sinister Chain
Ego, false vanity and self pride
Provoke contempt and disrespect,
That, in no time turns into malice,
Malevolence, envy and spite,
Which in turn kindles our anger.
Anger swallows up our sense
And burns all our good deeds
And our souls
Into ashes.
Only phoenix can reincarnate
From ashes;
Human souls cannot.

A wonderful poetic resume' of the worst within us! If only more people would realize the destructive effects of hate and anger, a better place this would be. You can't redeem your soul once burned by destructive hate, And yet, evil is practised over ad over again to the detriment of so many. A fantastic poem that says so much with very few but selected words. Exceptional!
'You can't redeem your soul once burned by destructive hate' - absolutely true! Thank you Sandra, for your thoughtful comment and high appreciation of the poem. Much inspired.
True words. But humans have Quality for transendence that wins every moment of life and guides path of eternal peace.
@Varsha M, Thanks for visiting my poem and the thoughtful comment you left here.
Seld Pride destroys everything! ! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
You are right that anger diminishes intellect and sallows our sense. Even if it burns our all good virtues. In Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta Chapter - 2, Shloka No 63 it has been well illustrated...Krodhat bhavati samihah, samohat srmuti bibhramah / Smruti bhransad buddhinasho buddhinasat pranashyati. At the end it can take to death. A marvelous poem with lofty theme.10
Ego The cruel prison cell of common sense Humanity lives there as a jailbird guilty
