From Radiance to Gloom

The light that dawns from timeless ages,

Abundantly enlightening the ignorant cages,

Ennobling the celestial creations’ ashes,

Filling with benevolent awareness and blesses.

Present from foundation to finish stages, 

Such graciousness descends along on sphere gage,

To ensure confusion to finish and raze, 

From cruelty to kindness, unethical to chastity sage. 

From unawareness to illumination,

But the space is very tough, long station,

At every step, man is devoured in perversion,

Clearly being lost and tangled flirtation;

Civilization and humanity becoming damnation,

The era of harmony, knowledge, and array fixation;

Falling, decaying, leaving the only destruction,

Like seven wonders’ cessation.  

Ugliness fading splendour and light,

Average gulping elegance bright, 

Edict of anarchy ruling the rest might,

‘Nero fiddling and Rome is burning’ site;

‘Ego to zero’, is killing self-flight;

Mafia controlling the power height,

Pundits and learned with glory and knight;

Forced exile to an empty aisle bite.

.

Quotas occupying chair and command;

To increase bewilderment and turmoil band;

Saints and pious pushed out and banned;

Kashmir and Ayodhya pogrom blood land;

Fire, food poisoning, hooch deaths fanned,

Terrorists and jihadists on slaughtering round,

Ram, Krishna, Buddha, Mahavira, replaced,

By Ambedkar, quotas, freebies sound.

Sun, moons, stars all lost in smog, 

Earth dwindling, man increasing like a frog,

Humanity squeezing like pariah dog,

‘You reap what you sow’. Monologue;

Fail of civilization, clashes, wars, hog,

Sleeping on withered leaves with dog and gun agog,

Stone palters hitting stones from mosques log,

In the hot noon looking for a safe catalogue.
