Extensions of What?

Wolverine’s adamantium claws
are at times extensions of his heroism,
of the fight for justice.

But at other times
extensions of his rashness and rage too.
What claws do we have and use?

Manjusri’s sword is the extension
of his perfect wisdom in action
severing ignorance out of compassion.

Truly adamantine (‘diamond’),
indestructible ultimate truth,
that destroys all delusions.
