Sunita U.D Palawon Poet Free verse

Solar Eclipse

Two eyes to us, which way to look?
Astrology or Astronomy?
Beliefs or Facts?
The war has lasted so long.
One side, magic and on other, science!
Priests versus scientists.
Curse or phenomena rare?
Some praying while some rejoicing.
Event tragic or one festive?
The peak time: some cry in sadness
While so many are applauding!
Two eyes to us, which way to look?
Whichever side we look, keep our feet on earth!!

For Solar eclipse today 1 Sept 2016
