God’s Wrath
------------------
HIS benevolence knows no boundaries
but incomprehensible is God’s wrath
thinks not
twice while taking away all
forewarning always, never to cross HIS path
but none heeds and who cares
nailed to cross one who dares
“never blame me,” thunders HE
blame the elements
wrecking the havoc
humans invited the wrath
what a pity !
Raping the nature’s generosity.

ReplyDeleteDear TK, as always wonderful thought provoking poem .........
you said this poem was written after the devastation at Kedarnath etc but see the tragedy, the poem holds so good for current scenario,
yes humans have destroyed the beautiful creation of God, instead of passing on a better world to our future generation, we have ruined everything........we are to be blamed for all that is happening and even at this extreme stage we dont learn then from our follies, then even God may not be able to save HIS creation.......
