A New Beacon

BY K. K. KAUL

Through darkened world possessed by might-mare

Comes sweeping a hurricane of fire;

Nations vulture-like

Hover shamelessly

Where stifled anguish bleeds.

Whirlwind of killing goes on.

Hungry flames mount ever higher,

In unending mathematics.

Out of a crimson tempest,

A red volcanic sky

Hell unpent

A new beacon shines on the horizon of future, storms.
