FURIES by SANTOSH KUMAR

FURIES

Where does vice go riding on Devil’s back?

Somewhere in the desert for nuclear test

This is sin. Advertise from house to house

To the very end of Earth.

Break the clutches, the knots

Fix the day

When the nuclear arsenal is destroyed

When diverse views and customs are accommodated

The moment of renascence is consensus-building

Will a bridge-builder between warring nations arrive soon?

All countries-one Destination

Destination of Peace

I celebrate diversity in culture

Diversity in race and religion

I need not ask for more!

Since Post-Cold War

Major armed conflicts I remember

I count them

Furies will not let us sleep
