Scorching heat, undrying sweat
Soothing talc, utmost a better bet.
Ubiquitous sun rays, ushering heat waves
Umbrellas of all types & ultra-sunglasses saves.
Most tiring, more thirst
Munch mangoes & mouthful of melons.
Midday radiation, mounting towers
Mild relief with a/c & coolers, makes it Mindful
Elements of high summer, enveloping around
Evenly breeze, entertain a little in the evenings.
Raising temperatures, restless lives
Rain to pour in, rescue in season.
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.
