Winning the Battles

The eruption of blazing emotion uncontrolled from the simmering volcano of anger, chars the green minds of innocence, you are burnt by the lava of remorse. The spoken word of wrath, the sharpest double-edged sword ever made. One side may decimate your opponent, but the other side severs your soul. The deepest desires unfulfilled, morph into the deadliest of hates. You enter the labyrinth of apathy, chased by the demon of your darkest shadow. The mind radicalized for vague cause, rides the mad horse of revenge, heartless violence destroys the illusion, the failed victor becomes the victim. Let the sword remain sheathed abandoned, tame the beasts of hate and anger, wield the magic wand of your heart, win all the battles with love and compassion.
