Violence isn’t just fists or blows,
It’s the venomous words that nobody shows.
The dagger of speech, the poisoned tongue,
Leaves scars on the heart where battles are won.
You boast of prayer, of virtue, of grace,
Yet your words burn tears into someone’s face.
Don’t speak of goodness; it’s hollow and vain,
When your deeds leave behind a trail of pain.
To hurt another is a sin you can’t hide,
No temple, no shrine will cleanse what’s inside.
Karma waits, silent, brutal, and cold,
To return the torment tenfold.
Every cruel word, every silent cry,
Will haunt you when it’s your turn to die.
Tears of blood will flow from your eyes,
For every soul you made agonize.
So beware , of the damage you’ve done,
Life’s justice spares no one.
The mirror of fate will make it clear
You’ll drown in the same anguish you engineered.

The Eternal Guide
When nothing seemed possible , you held my hand,
Guiding my steps through shifting sand.
Though , the road was muddy , the skies were grey ,
My faith in you lit the way.
Behind my back , you always stood ,
Performing your duties as you should.
Converting my trials to a greater good,
Turning my doubts , I understood.
When I made a mistake , you saw me crying,
Cheering me on to not stop trying,
Well , there were the moments filled with despair,
Then , reminded me , you were there!
Oh Lord! You know how grateful I am,
For every blessing every plan,
With you beside me , I have come so far,
You are my light , my guiding star!
Yes , you were there and always be,
You were there , made me tension free.
You were there , held my hand more tightly,
Guiding my way through the darkest night brightly.

BATTLE INSIDE
A peace outside, a battle inside.
You have to have this ride.
These smiles can’t be confide,
as they have a lot to hide.
Something apart, something beside.
You have to have this ride.
A peace outside, a battle inside.
