THE VIOLENT WORLD


POEM

He is healthy, strong and steely
Beware of him.
He is quick-tempered in his prime
vengeance writ large on
his face, with his eyes aglow
like embers
and a sharp weapon always
in his possession.
Beware of him.
He, in spite of all these
never takes head on anyone
without being provoked.
Provocation always leads
him to vent his suppressed emotions
like anger, vengeance and killer instinct.
Beware of him.
Never cross swords with him
which would ultimately prompt
him to go to the extreme.
Beware of him.
In a world where
violence, deaths in millions
and displacements
such persons are on the increase.
