THE BRAVE NEW WORLD

 

Dr. R. S. Tiwary

 

The brave new world unfolding

In the national skies disturbing,

Is peopled by an infinite variety

Of Don Quixotes and braggarts,

Of pedlars of rancour and hatreds,

Of traffickers in political gambles,

Of dyed jackals and smiling wolves,

Of seeming Amazons and chivalrous Knights,

Of satellites shining in borrowed feathers,

Of feminine foxes and blackmailing Furies,

With this orchestral cacophony,

We are entering the Twenty first Century

To what destination there’s no knowing.
