The Relics Of The Future Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon

The Relics Of The Future

Rating: 5.0


Future is just another phase
Of the withered stenchy past,
Of which the balmy relics
And gruesome skeletons rot,

Where the relentless deluge
Of ominous catastrophes
Are foretold with certainty
And the dark waters rise.

What a wonderful prediction based on the horrible present! The word 'relics' is concerned with past but here the poet has very nicely incorporated into the future. This is the beauty of poetry! I have never heard of use of this word in such a way! A unique title..appreciated!
