A Massacre to a War

 


                                A Massacre to a War


When terror overwhelms a land's peaceful valleys,
Their haven is threatened with losses unimaginable.
Bodies strewn across the earth's temple- Its indescribable
How the legionaries gather at their rallies.
Vengeance follows by the harmed removing resources suppliable,
Civilians understanding that the opposer was unable,
Its power deducted- yet, shadows remain in the alleys...

Could it have lost the strife to retort?
Or had it decided to cause unrighteous fright?
Planning ambushes in daylight, the horrid land tries to regain the limelight-
As the country of truth strategizes and builds its own plot.
Trickery traps the terrorizers- the foe loses sight,
Seeing as how its formidable enemy presents true might.
War begans, the threatener without a retreating resort.

Failing a third time to corner the valiant forces,
This country is assisted by a vile neighbour-
Which, for revenge against the land of honour,
Chose to hit it with all its forces.
The dreadful land watches behind its ally and cowers,
As two regions appreciate the gallant republic for its power
And the manical assassins reap more than thrice their own doses...


-Sahana Raghuraman



Note: This poem describes the fight between a spiteful country whose jealousy is doubled with the assist of another country, against a land whose silent power puts the two opposing regions to silence as well- but not the type of silence the threatened land inhibited. It shows the usual consequence of a war between vile forces and their so-called, 'rival', who is more than that to them- in fact, they are far more superior. This leads to two other countries appreciating the 'country of truth' for retaliating in a way well deserved for the opposing regions.

A DIARY OF GREED

                      A Diary of greed Alas! From a thirsty miser, to a haughty, yet rich man who only understood how to ta ke and not give, I am now a worthless wretch who aba ndoned all his properties. My once reckless life of fame is still unforgotten, still shamed by many. That very fame was rewarded to me by my greed for money, and yet, that was the very greed that took my life away from me. As I rot on this isolated piece of land, trying to escape the ghost of my old life, and all who I owe my money to, I felt the need to explain how I ended up this way. Let me break down the story of my life, sentence by sentence, after which you will be able to understand how corrupting money can be...                           A POEM OF GREED An incredible family, deficit of corruption, Blacksmiths, working at fire, from midnight to dawn, Hands black from the soot, barely able...

Kolli Hills and the Myths Within

Kolli Hills And the Myths Within:   W e made our journey into the Mariamman temple, spotting, at the foot of the steps, nothing but a thatched hut. Yet, that was what we had in mind, until we saw a figure who would make the bones of rakshasas chill to the marrow and yet increase faith in her devotees: Mariamman herself, teeth painted on the sides of her mouth and eyes that watched us with mysterious intent. Climbing the steps to reach the actual temple, we wondered how there could be two figures of her at the same place. Holding that thought, we saw her other figure, with her having such fearsome eyes that they looked right through our spirit. Yet, that is true for only those who fear her; those who do not will never feel the same way. The body was missing, not unlike many other Amman temples, proving that she did not need even strength to protect us- only her sight and her mystical powers. This, however, was not the only incident that stood in my mind. Something else happened as w...

The Raving Flail - Prologue

    The Raving Flail Prologue: There it lay, inside the sleek glass structure looking much like a coffin to the eyes of my sister. But it was not dead, nor alive- an undead, pulsing weapon, the elders say, that had conjured up the most annihilating of powers. Centuries ago, it was used by the patron of the village to banish the corrupt, recurring shadows of beings that had once dominated the lands. All was well, until the weapon could stand it no longer. It had banished its own share of souls, and needed one measly soul, just one, to extend the nature of its powers. The weapon had made no mistake until then, but, according to the interpretation of the historians, the greed of its owner had influenced it to such an extent that it decided to use the soul of its very owner to quench its thirst for power. The weapon, sup...
