Violence

All that happens in this realm,
All the fighting,
Killing,
Suffering,
Mourning,
All of these form together to create the meaning to one word,
Violence.
Cruel and meaningless to the hearts of good folk
Sensational and meaningful to the hearts of bad.
Anger,
Hatred,
Revenge,
Opposition,
Rivalry,
All of these and more lead to violence.
No matter what anyone claims,
Violence rests in the depths of everyone’s heart.
No matter how pure someone claims to be,
That person will commit a sin that leads to violence.
No one is truly angelic.
Violence rules everyone at one point of time.
