_Lesson from history_

You’re back
 You’ve been here before Haven’t you? I recognize your dark hideous 
form You are pain Slowly you will sink your fangs in me You will hold me in a tight
embrace Like a demanding lover You will wrap yourself around me Like a shroud And
try to snatch from me My life’s breath But you will not succeed Even though I have
not the strength to fight you Time will be my ally Time will erode you Gradually
your power will wane And you will fade into nothingness History will repeat itself
I know because We’ve done this before Haven’t we?

Nice poem! It reinforces Buddha’s doctrine. Law of impermanance.
