Smoke Poem by Praveen Kumar In Shobha Priya

The swirl of smoke
In gyral tower,
Why rises to the sky?
Why a jet of soot
Flares like hood
At the roof of the world?

The cloud of passion
Builds a spiral bridge
To the roof of the void;
The dowf world of decadence
Dissolves in air
And rises to joyful Heaven.

The column of smoke,
Blackened with soot,
Carries sad plaints to high world
Of gluttonous greeds,
Of sins and pains
That catch hapless lower world.

The griefs, wails and shrieks
Of tearing pains on the Earth,
Rise to the sky in smoke
In search of light
To suffocate sufferings
And purge all griefs from the Earth.
