Where Is 'satan'? ? ! Poem by Sheshu Babu

Where Is 'satan'? ? !



To eliminate evil,
You have burnt effigies
And comforted yourself
Saying that 'evil is gone'!

But you did not realize
That evil is not outside you...
It is a part of you
Waiting to be eradicated

Remember Satan 's words
In Paradise Lost
''I am hell'
And evil resides in the mind...

Root out evil
From your own mind
Burning effigies
Is no solution to eliminate vice!

(Scores of people died while burning effigies in a place near Amritsar, Punjab, India)
