Smelling Thunder

Then, one day

The boy who visited

As a student going

To college, standing

Amid clouds asunder

No sooner did they

Travel under pressure

And depression over

The gulf surrounding

On the Eastern skies

A smell of thunder

Like burnt metal

Corroding through the skin

The young student was like a sure stuck target

To the gods of yonder

You may wonder,

Was that zeus with a bolt

Of lightening and thunder

Or was it for Lord Indra

That varun is pouring

And soaking them wet

One of them struck by thunderbolt and rushed to ER

Parents and sisters visited

To help out, a burnt wreck of a human

To nurse and nurture

Back to his self wondrous,

Cannot ponder why in the heavens

This student was under the

Rigors of the lightening

Thankfully though

The University Hospital

Doctors and nurses,

Took him under the care

Of knives and prayer

As the brother fought for life

Unlike many and luckier than who couldn't make
