In The Garden Of Evil All Are Cursed Poem by Savita Tyagi

In The Garden Of Evil All Are Cursed

.


Terror is the brutal force of war in disarray 
Like a carnivorous tree that bears no fruit,
It extends its poisonous arms around its prey.

Humanity is victimized by its ruthless,
Demonic heart and foul intelligence.
Its fatal, vicious and violent  energy
Shatters lives in unsuspecting ways. 

It transforms city streets in war zones
Spreads like fire from nation to nation,
From continent to continent to inflict
Horrific pain and suffering on innocent.

No place, no land, no man immune 
Or spared from it, all bets are off
Against it, all laws are broken by it
Just chaos and screams prevail.

Savage terrorists know no bounds
Some kill with smart bombs, others
Use cars, planes and computers.
Tools that are to benefit society have
Become scepter of death in their hands.

Passionate and ruthless!
Coward or fearless!
Praised or condemned as they are!
Depends on, who writes the history!

For now Jungle is getting vicious 
Tree of righteousness licks dust
In the Garden of Eden all are cursed.

Let us rid ourself from its savage curse
O! Pomona! O! Bacchus! O! Aryanika!
Help us instill peace in our precious forest.

Note:
Pomona and Bacchus in Roman culture and Aryanika in Vedic Hindu culture are protectors and nurturers of forest and plains and all its dwellers and habitat.
