Who am i ?

Who am i ?

A Poem by Peter H
"

well , um , this one is from way back during my highschool days again when i had this epiphany whiles watching this news segment and i came up with this.

"

I am conceived through pain 

Raised by your darkness

Weaponized by your religion

I am often  used arbitrarily in the name of justice

Who am I you ask?

 

I’m sure you know me

Every time someone is killed I am there

Every time you take your vile retributions I am there

Every time you do something through your subjective justice I am there

I am there for every act of evil you commit.

 

I am an everlasting cycle like the rain

As long humans exist I will remain 

I can not be killed because I exist within everyone

I admit some men tried but utterly failed.

 

Perhaps I can list them

The philosopher’s of hope

Ghandi , Marley , Jesus and manymore 

there words  of hope hurt me,

Injured me, they violated me but in the very end they all failed to kill me

Who am I? I am the malevolence, hatred , jealously, envy and bigotry

That exist within you and I will never die as long as you exist.

Jackie Chan? :D

Sorry, I'm really sorry. The title is the same as my favorite Jackie Chan movie.

Well written, anyway. I feel like an arse.

Very nice,
Peter this is great. I mean there is such conveyance unto the evil here. Evil within us all. I like how it is related through I am there segments. Normally I would say it was too many, maybe it is. I thought it worked though. Those statements pull the read into the feeling of the everywhereness of this idea. It is pretty straight forward to it's allusions. There is a song it makes me think of a friend on here recently introduced me to "Evil is alive and well" by Jakob Dylan. Jessica Gillitzer got me onto them and so you might check out the song. Excellent piece in giving food for thought...

"Weaponized by your religion"

Very nice line, it creates vivid mental imagery in ideas of martyrs and religious fanatics.

"I am (a) ever (last) cycle like the rain"

An* and lasting*? Typos maybe.

So yeah as a whole this piece is well executed with rise and fall and an area of involvement for the reader to get involved in. Nicely done friend.
Sincerely
Christopher

This is a clever characterisation of bigotry I think and you have expanded on your idea, flawlessly, very well done!

We all have a precondition and that precondition is, mortality. Jesus made things right. The things that we man could not do. Great start. Read over it again and make the corrections.
