A Sonnet On The Divine Mother Kali...... Poem by Prabhakar Srivastava

O horrible face! O blood stained eyes
O dragon like tongue sucking blood!
O attacking gestures like cobra's hood
Once more on the planet havocs arise

Who is that Naked death dancing?
With garland of monsters' heads
The darkest but dazzling lightening
Swallowing demons like bits of bread

Who is this mad lady? What's Her name?
Who laughs on beheading as it's a game
Oh! Is the most calm Gauri in this form?
Like a furious lioness why does She roam?

O Kali! Perhaps someone hurt Thy children
So being insane like eternal death Thou rain
