Living in Superlatives

Contest entry

Ancient wrongs shed blood today ,wrongs done today will shed blood tomorrow
Today tomorrow , today tomorrow the cycle of hate goes on
How much wrong can you carry in your heart ?
How much pain can you lock in your soul ?
This unending pain will turn into a festering sore and kill the human being within you
Release the pain and let the pressure of pain an hate flow out gracefully
Bring down the barrier of pain
Break down the chain of hate
And let the inner child in you make a new world free of pain and hate
change is life
nothing in this world can come to naught
All that is will always be although in a changed form
Like the rains turning into clouds
clouds into rain and then the sea but never cease to be
Like the moth changing into butterfly and taking its first flight
Like the bud turning into flower and swinging in the breeze
In the superlative way of living
when your time is up you needn't grieve or fear
because you will be merely transformed from one to another.
