VIOLENCE ( 2 )

Verbal
Mental
Physical
Which one
Do you despise?

Verbal and mental violence
Could be debilitating
Physical violence
Can be terminal
End in or lead
To genocide
Massacre

Is nightmarish
Mental Violence
Could lead to
Deep depression
Suicide
Total alienation

Is not type of violence
But violence itself
We should despise

Eliminate
Oppose and abhore
Let's replace it with
Tolerance
Co-operation
Peace and development

End greed and
Quest for selfish
Personal gain
Not satisfying
In the end

Exploitation
Worship of materialism
Desire
To get rich quick at any cost
Be a millionnaire

Desire
To dominate & control
Craving
For absolute power

Don't they feel
Guilty
Power corrupts and
Absolute power corrupts
Absolutely

All the above
Incentivise
All those feeble minded
Who easily succumb
To kill
Dominate and control

Certificate U
Poem
Miscellaneous
