WRATH

 

Bhavana Sridher Chari

 

When  God’s creation succumbs,

to the tools of violent vicissitudes,

The agony due to Nature’s marauders,

Lo and Behold! Spells the doom ‘n’ danger!

When panic-stricken womenfolk,

Rush to safer domains,

Like the ‘panther’, pouncing back on its prey

The hell-let –loose, spells damnation!

The dread of unfathomed waterholes,

Passing, unexpectedly, on the kindred;

Like a tempestuous storm on a dead sea

The warning of the unknown, spells wrath!

When the bad, the evil, the wretched

Gnaw on the disciples of divinity;

The fate that is destined to be

Spells obliteration, vacuum, cessation of creed!

As the dragon spits out burning fire,

The seething ire, the wrath of the benefactor;

The murky clouds of a cyclone, that stall

the dusk,

Rains alarm on the distressed humanity!

This, the Satan, from Lost Paradise

Lingers, still in hope, from fallen ruins!
