Mighty often face defeat,
Not owing to lack of physical or mental strength,
But as a result of submergence into the influence of negative souls,
These evil beings systematically weaken the strong,
First by attacking their mind,
And then by slowly incapacitating their thinking capacity,
Slowly inching them close to their demise,
The only way out of this predicament,
Is by holding the dear ones close,
Irrespective of the societal influence and attempt,
At swaying us away from the ones who actually love us to the core.
