Hardly A Day Passes By Poem by Ravi Kopra

Hardly a day passes by
once again you see on telly
some crazy shooting innocent people -
toddlers in nurseries
kids in schools, church goers
casino players, party boozers, passers by.

Has the kal-yuga dawned upon us?
Has there been too much yin everywhere?
Is the golden age in the offing?
Is the yang soon coming?

Like when the republicans are in power
the democrats are surely to take them over
Too much stupidity, ignorance, drugs, sex, guns
bring down the world's wealthiest nations.

Nations rise and fall
Rivers change directions
Mountains burst in volcanos
Seas churn in hurricanes
Winds turn into tornadoes
Where are we heading to?
