Goodness Provokes

a poem by Jayati

I do not harm people
But people harm me
Come on, do not act;
Behaving to be innocent.
Oh! Yes, please do believe me
Goodness can be provoking;
Assassination
of Mahatma Gandhi.
Bernard Shaw on Mahatma’s death
approximately quoting,
“His death shows
it is dangerous to be good.”
What should our option be?
Good as Truth Prevail
Sooner or later
that may be!
