A profound lyric becomes a powerful wind of steadfast love.
Lifts the hate-filled cloak that has been engulfing humanity.
A new sense of calm and tranquilly descends across the divided society.
Eshwara Prasad May 2023
Didn't you feel compelled to write poetry right now?
Put yourself at ease.

At night, the moon will also rise.
Try writing in the moonlight.
Poetry may arise at any time.

The Pride Comes and Goes!
Eshwara Prasad May 2023
The chicken crows with pride.

The Sun, predictably, ascends.

The  guy in charge of the chicken's fate chopped its neck, stripped its feathers, and hung it in front of his shop.

Some of the village's ever-lazy and hungry residents walked into the store and gorged themselves on the chicken pieces. They sank to the floor and instinctively gripped their chest.

The chemeleon perched on the compound wall like a bully, ran to the backyard closet to avoid the predictable turmoil that ensued.

Unfounded belief
Eshwara Prasad Apr 2023
