The Best Poem Of DR. J.S. ANAND

Wailing Winds

Winds scream
when cars cut through
their silence zones

Cart and horse
were music to their ears

But winds
scream in fear
when horns tear into
their meditations

cars and aeroplanes
the faster they move
sharper are the wounds
they inflict

and winds scream
in unbearable pain

We have seen
the planes in flight
- just one side
of the story

the other is the
sordid tale
unsung till date

of winds
mauled and molested
by engines of progress
and their rider,
MAN

When he strikes
his breasts with his palms
IN VICTORY

winds in silence cry
SHAME, SHAME.

[composed on 22.9.2013, while travelling back from Shimla]
