Sign of the Times

Since the beginning of the *****sapiens’ phases of civilization Invisible pages of history printed sign of the times in message clear Giving clue to the artifacts of the cyclic growth and destruction, No force on earth could ever change the cardinal rule of nature. On the ruins of war and strife grew the fragmented modern world Fierce strive for supremacy and survival erodes the human values. The folded flaps covering the black archaic psyche are unfurled Humane tolerance and noble empathy are going fast out of use, Embittered minds gravitate to the centre of the radicalized ego. Touch of feathery feeling hardened hearts don’t give any more In kinship beliefs frictional winds of change has begun to blow Making mounting existential crisis corrode civilizations’ core. Envisioned annihilation marks on the fate of the human world Sign of the times drawn indelibly in the undrying lines of blood. April 24, 2018.
