Cruel Winds

a poem by Anup Chandran V

Cruel Winds are known to blow,
   with utter disdain.
Cruel Winds have evil’s force,
   and the bullets to sustain.
Cruel Winds can render,
   years of sweat in vain.
Cruel Winds reduce,
   smiles of joy to creases of pain.
Cruel Winds that feeds,
   on hatred and bloods rain.
Cruel Winds revel in,
   the gory by the insane.
Cruel winds do not heed,
   to pleas of restrain.
Cruel winds that whistles,
   in the narrow minded lane.
