A Tale of Destruction By Satis Shroff

TALE OF DESTRUCTION (Satis Shroff)



Tell the tale you clouds and gulls,

Despite the happiness and hope,

Spread by the sunlight

In early Spring.



Tell your tale of destruction

Carried by the gales and storms,

That bore names.



The wooden stairs and platforms

Lie now strewn upon the shore,

Blown to smithereens.

Plastic products everywhere,

Among a people that care.

A water desert,

That has been left behind,

As a warning,

Till the next big gale.
