Analysis of Catastrophe
A star is falling, gradually
From the sky!
On the slowly blurring path of the planet equation of her existence,
Is echoing The Devil’s trumpet
The warrant of Death
In all directions !
The vast ocean of Shadows of Black Deaths
Is devouring, bit by bit,
The entire colors of Earth !
As if, the door to God is shut!
In a deadly clutch of an endless, tireless war,
Every one of us, today, is like, as though
Sisyphus* of Greece !
* Sisyphus : A very tragic character in Greek Mythology
