In seeking a solution
An antidote to Wrath
I spoke to many a guru
Until I was set upon the path
Now I seek peace at every turn
I take the turn the other cheek
To a new level of forbearance
Outlasting adversity through endurance
Divinely inspired
Always required
To keep the coals fired
To achieve the heights aspired
Without a compass to guide me
I'll need this trait
To keep me on the path straight
It's the long game of wait
After all
As nothing is achieved overnight
Evil still blossoms in the hearts of many men
And though many do, I never cower in fright
The Shadow knows
And so do I
That what gives lift to most other virtues
What sustains and makes one's soul fly
Forgiveness for my enemies
The one's who have done grave harm
Revenge pushed away
In exchange for justice's long arm
With pinpoint accuracy
Was the evil extracted
Pulled from the innocent
Judged guilty and redacted
Placed safely away
To serve a penance
Helped by the very virtue that put it there
Sustained by Patience
