Violence
starts from slaughterhouse!
Moves into a
shopping bag!
Comes to the
dinner table
Served as
delicious meal -
Delighting our
face, watering our mouth!
With no sight
of killing,
Cry for help,
pain and suffering -
Glides into
stomach for assimilation
Rests in small
intestine for absorption!
Moves to every
cell
Finds nest in
the brain!
Gradually
hardens sensitive mind
Teaches
acceptance of abuse, violent crime!
Violence grows
with larger appetite
Covered in
fashion by peer pressures!
Eliminates
childhood ideals and curiosity
Embraces
alcohol, tobacco and pornography!
Justifies
recreation for civilized being
Including
boxing, hunting, racism or drive by shooting!
Violence
accompany us leaving school
Crowds’
corporate boardrooms!
Applies
management science for profits
Downgrading
employee salary, security, benefits!
Seeded in
teachers, lawyers, storeowners!
Scientists,
politicians, labourers or brokers!
Judges, doctors,
lawmakers, or law keepers
Displays
horrors as convenient measures!
Baptized with
Scripture’s blessings
Becomes part
of a ‘Commander in chief’!
Inherits most
destructive power
To fight a war
or make a war!
Briefed in
secrecy while golfing
Making decision
while hunting
Addressing
nation at prime time viewing -
Starts a war,
justify troops sending!
Submerged in
wine and jovial mood
Relaxed with
friends inside cozy war room
Precisely
delivers missiles, shells, nuclear bombs!
Destroys
countries, beings of all forms –
Unaware,
unprepared, unarmed, unknown!
