Craters and Creation

Just another environmental poem...



                        Craters and Creation       


The Earth, now a satellite,
Lies within an orbit of demolition.
Dark, damp, free of light,
A land of craters without endearing creation.

Ores once rich, filled with earthen soul,
Drastic sources now a cavity deep.
With shallow minds that carve out coal,
Humans meander like mares at sleep.

One-eyed without humility, agonizing with every day,
Making every life lean and choke with terror.
Clenching their jaws, mankind's generosity at bay,
The true beings are trapped in a swirl of horror.

The beings' minds pulled clean, fire conjured in their eyes,
As the flames set around us become their own.
A blame shifts, hearts betrayed cold with ice-
Humans are the emperors in the lands they disown.


-Sahana Raghuraman


Note: Here, I am emphasizing the negative effect so that it would have an impact on people's minds.

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...
