From the tree that stood sturdy
Terrified, flew off a birdie
No sooner had it foreseen the danger.
Holding an axe, approached a stranger.
No second thoughts, he brutally hacked
Off fell the tree and loud it cracked.
No blood shed, though the wound severe,
Only roots now remained as an arrear.
Weapons different but goal similar,
Armed with intentions solely to devour,
A terrorist, set out, unaware of his folly
Transforming tranquility into melancholy.
Terror rose high up in the air
Scattered below lay victims' cadaver.
While blood oozed out from the wounds’ orifice
And seeped deep in through ground’s crevice.
As every life gets slaughtered,
The wounds get more and more rooted.
At once, they’ll sublimate out of freeze
When sufferings become beyond increase.
I must say Anjali, your poems reflect that you're a really good soul...
ReplyDeleteThe pain, the tremor in ones heart in this terrified world is nicely penned by you...
