Hatred …….
Is it due to rival’s arrogance?
Is due to pain caused by outsider?
Is it due to pathetic history?
Is it ‘cause you are poor?
Is it ‘cause they are rich?
As you don’t have food to eat?
Or they dump extra food and crops in the sea?
Is it because they ill – treat you?
Is it the “God” never listen to you?
Or else listening to your rival?
Is it because some bad people are rich?
Is it because most god people are poor?
Where are we wrong?
Where is hatred?
Where is revulsion?
Where is odium?
Where is detestation?
It’s within you and me…..
reasons are no more than your thoughts
Why?
We grab stimulant
Then,
Develop anger.
Finally hatred…..
Hatred never solve the agony
It aggravates instead.
Mind precedes all thoughts and actions
Compassion is the answer
But,
There is a BIG BUT….
Difficult to practice….
Challenging to be consistent.
Wise words. Compassion is indeed the answer. But only the few will ever practice it consistently. Still even a small light has the power to overcome the darkness. So shine on, Kolitha.10 for your inspiring poem.
