The devil within tries to be still <br />So that we feel its gone <br />And tender words are spilled <br />But the devil exists, albeit withdrawn <br /> <br />Lurking underneath, longing to be freed <br />When we loosen the leash and lower our defence <br />Voila! It emerges out in full greed <br />Unleashing a dark side, we watch in an awed silence <br /> <br />However virtuous we may try to sound <br />And say our daily prayers, hound the temples, churches n mosques <br />Our dear amused devil will still be around <br />Laughing at our earnest efforts to hide the seed under the husk <br /> <br />All we can do is to be aware of it <br />Watch it, observe and make a deal with him <br />That we will accept it bit by bit <br />Shake hands and let him stay at the brim<br /><br />Renu Rakheja a.k.a Tranquil Ocean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/e-12-dark-the-devil-within/
