Violence means violence

Violence means violence and that
Has a dangerous precedence.

Violence can not counter violence
Without the equipment of non-violence
That has a appearance in the
inner heart of soulfence.

An Ode To A Saint Of Peace

An Ode to a Saint of Non-Violence – Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

He came from a non-descript Indian place
A village which would not have a place
In Her Majesty’s palace’ grace
What could this man for India raise?

When the Indian nation reeled
Under a foreign yoke
This frail man with iron will
Preached a master stroke

To get to the end of the tunnel

For the Indian freedom struggle

It is not arms and blood
Or revenge, violence or death
That will get India freedom

Non-Violence Great Virtue

Non-violence is
Great virtue
Non-violence
Born out of
Non-attachment.

Passion, anger
And greed are
Triple gates
To hell
these are born out
of Attachment.
