World Poetry Day 2022

Snow laden mountains

With tall Cedar trees

Small rivulets and

Hot springs of water

Flowing by so fresh  

Early in the morning

With sheep grazing

Along the greenery

Cattle munching away

In a nearby Ranch,

Chewing on their fodder

The calves running around

In company of the kitten

Playing in the garden

A dream one can strive for

Left in a rubble as the

Huge excruciating sounds

Of breaking glass and

Buildings and hospitals

Razed to the ground, as

The humongous bombs

Are shelled, in acres of land

With landmines, missiles

And sirens and starvations

Where are you going

Humanity, whither is thine

Path leading you?

I dreamt of paradise

But alas! It is in guise

Causing me hyperventilate

Developing arrhythmia

And space is congested

As the Universe is exploding

In warfare and missiles

Leaving nothing more than

Chaos, calamity, dirt and death.

Wish I had a better picture

To offer on this International

Day of Poetry… Poets..?

Not sure who will close down

Or shed tears, that can

Mean nothing, to anyone…
