My wars with?

My wars with?
=================
Iam on war with myself
to correct me as a man
My wars may be tiny and monster
Every one will leave a lesson
They may start at the dawn sometimes and
some times they may give trouble in nights
I must be cautious
cause they may hit at in any second
It may start  for a great cause,or
it may be for a little bit
Even in my prayers
They can come and disturb as thoughts
Some times,it may question me and
in sometimes it may answer with contraversies
It may tempt me to take a sword
not only against the devils.
It may confuse me in my way and
sometimes it may guide me to my way
Am I only man with these wars? or
anybody with me in this road

Ravi:

Kudos to your insightful lament. And, yes ... although I currently have no major wars raging, or even much in the way of minor, I have memory of many operating in the past. To be a man, I think---correction: to be a human being---is to be conflicted. Is it any wonder? That is, is it any wonder that when cultures worldwide are at war with individuals ... How can we prevail against our own societies---and their damned groupthinks? It's much easier to do battle with internal demons. At least it keeps us distracted from fruitless dealings with external problems/issues/demands. And injustices. Nice piece. Thanx, Grandpa
