Sign of the Times
Seated at the table the crow
In the grey gown the lark beside it
Green leaves mostly matted
No summer in the wintry silence
Oxygen meagre in the lungs
Flowers of the heart die unnoticed
Twitter and WhatsApp world rejoice
Hollow sounds of the heart grieve
Evenings devoid of the moon and stars
Time of the brown sugar time of the robots
Inquiet wine cups in the air
Mornings seldom visit the eyes
Entropic inflammation of the civilization
Systemic surgery needed
