ORISSA SUPER CYCLONE

 

Pronab Kumar Majumdar

 

The dead-man’s face

A demonstration of helplessness

The corpse has really no name –

­Nature is never apologetic

A dead man never seeks mercy

Nor does he retaliate.

A wild petal lying on the eyelid

Don’t remove it

It will give the corpse a vision

of its transmigration.

 

Breathing is life

A life lives on air

When an elephant turns rogue

It only destroys everything

Coming its way

Super Cyclone is million of herds of rogues

Crashing eyelessly ruthlessly

Humanity is yet so easy prey ­

Air, the elixir of life

Is enraged wild killer sometimes.
