Clouds of War

a poem by Sanal Kumar

Dangerous clouds
gathers up in the eastern sky
it foretells the arrival
of a monster rain
and girth of destruction
it would unleash
Down below the ripened grass
Like an army stands ready with sparkling
swords in their hands
ready to fight
a bird next a tree
murmurs
I don’t like this rain
And grains harvested from it.
