Juggernaut

When I read the wiki's definition of juggernaut* as a fierce and ruthless force, I shrug. When I see the face of Jagannatha, full of eyes, smiling at me, I cannot but smile back. When I think about his younger sister, lovely Subhadra, I sigh like a snake in the jug. * The word is derived from Jagannatha, which is one of the names of Krishna. 12.11.2019 Pick A Title, Vol 11 - Kimo(3 Stanzas) - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh Syllables Per Line: 10 7 6 0 10 7 6 0 10 7 6

like a snake in the jug. so cool, Kurt. I did not even really know what this creature was, so it's good to see someone writing about it.
