Tetrad

As the light from the Sun is blocked by our planet earth The light refracts differently, hits the moon with mirth Like a hot kiss of a lover hits the cheeks of a maiden girl. Each time Tetrad brings a significant event in the offing. It reminds me of God Hanuman who had the power to fly The red moon looked like a red apple to his childish eyes He flew to the moon, was hit & as a result got chubby face Each time the Tetrad brings a significant event in the offing. In the past, the Tetrad has seen the expulsion of the Jews Birth of Israel, the war between Arabs & Israelis in queue Now I wonder, what is in the store of The Tetrad of 15th April Each time the Tetrad brings a significant event in the offing.
