Deluge Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Deluge
When one is let down by life
one's universe is deluged
and the earth under one's feet
erodes…..
Tears make no sense
nor do the agonies
of Existence.
Life plays as a leveler. High and low, ups and downs, joy and sorrow, we may look at situations through them yet it levels out ultimately. A thoughtful poem 5****
Life could be an unending test of endurance, at least for some…. And survival of the fittest!
Wow! That is a really wonderful observation. I had been carried away by a horrible experience a girl had to experience narrated in the media. How all the "let-down" forced her to end her life… This is the background of the poem. Thank You, Dr Nehal.
Brilliant and meaningful poem dear Poet that deserves 100 marks
Thank You Geeta for the beautiful comments. I am obliged.
When universe is deluged and everything is washed away, personal tears and aspirations have no meaning at all.
This poem is the result of the vicarious mental agony I suffered, when I read about the horrible experience of a young girl, which ultimately led to her suicide.
The overwhelming nature of relentless troubles is so well portrayed here. Powerful and moving.
