Quote

for what shall i wield a dagger, o lord?
what can i pluck it out of
or plunge it into
when you are all the world?

- devara dasimayya
10th century Indian poet - saint

i read one, quite recently. i think this is by guru gobin singhji, and has been translated, and i can't remember it exactly as i read it, but it said -

'all methods of redressing a wrong having failed, the use of the sword is just and pious'

yet for some you yield the moon
and for some you rob the earth
If you dont change this soon
Be prepared for a dagger in your girth!
