The War Within and Unity Beyond – Delhi Poetry Slam

The War Within and Unity Beyond

By B S Anagha

Emotions, feelings, attachments, fear, anger, creativity, love and affection.
We comfort them with our heart.

Knowledge, intellect, thinking capability, analytics, ability to earn.
We cherish them with our mind.

Materialistic life, time management, smart working, and conquering the world.
We ponder these with imagination and expect miracles.

We have all the weapons needed to win.
Yet we choke like warriors lost in a fog of doubt.

Sacrifice teaches us the value of our existence.
Death humbles us in countless ways.
Pure souls teach us gratitude and elevate our spirit.

Failure and success help us clear the debts of the past, present, and future.
Teaching, learning, compassion and charity humble us.
Goodness, passion and strength push us towards resilience.

Self-realization dissolves all dualities around us and gives us strength.
Devotion and discipline lead to victory in the war within us.
And unite us with our true selves.
