Tomorrows Are A Terror Poem by M D Dinesh Nair

Blooming flowers, running water,
A chirping bird, a sweet breeze,
Rustling trees, smiling school kids,
A sun rise, a charming eve and an unknown nostalgia were all there for long...!

The life was pulsating all around then.

Images not so kind flash across the mind now
as the green planet turns turtle.

Plastic butterflies, ravaging rivers,
homeless winged beauties and a newer scare writ large on the face of the youth are crying for a word...

The unwed mothers, the battered lands, the fleeing Presidents and the ransacking people are all worth a glance!

After the entourage of the killer virus there comes now the hitherto unheard Monkeypox!

There floats a smiling cloud promising one more shower,
But, the gusts of the close future roar at a high pitch....

Tomorrows are a terror!
