Devastation Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

Devastation

Rating: 4.7


Bushes bow to bear
The brunt of the boots;
The satirical rope of destiny
Pull me to the edge of the garden;

Cumbersome creepers
Cringe within own embraces;
Thorns go flat at heads
Sucking blood from toes;

Wisps of smoke hang over
Soaked footpaths where
Burnt carcasses lie twisted
Like commas;

The God feels guilty
And hides in the craggy
Inside of a roadside temple.
Having lost His own game.

The God feels guilty And hides in the craggy Inside of a roadside temple. Having lost His own game. Ah the cream of the poem in such a small stanza. We humans have pushed our God to a helpless state to a corner INA road side temple. Thanks poet for such a lovely poem. 10 for it.

The God feels guilty (it sounds naive) And hides in the craggy Inside of a roadside temple. Having lost His own game. ................................................ But fine lines Best wishes, Ts.
