ENIGMA, WONDER, BEASTLINESS AND FURY (Free verse) by Gopakumar
Rotates the Globe
Revolves the Globe
Yet a plain ground it is
For all our plays and fights;
Indeed, enigma of nature â it is.
Rotates the Globe
Revolves the Globe
Yet the great bowl seldom spills
Though waves lashes and retreats;
Indeed, enigma of nature â it is.
Home on the Globe
Grave inside the Globe
Yet manâs rockets reach space
And return to enrich him;
Indeed, wonder of science â it is.
Home on the Globe
Grave inside the Globe
Yet man could split atoms
And steal the hidden energy;
Indeed, wonder of science â it is.
Home on the Globe
Grave inside the Globe
Yet manâs rockets hit cities
And rip apart bodies and minds;
Indeed, beastliness of man â it is.
Home on the Globe
Grave inside the Globe
Yet man could split humanity
And build walls all around;
Indeed, beastliness of man â it is.
Rotates the Globe
Revolves the Globe
Yet can shake when it wants
Turning temples to rubbles;
Indeed, fury of nature â it is.
Rotates the Globe
Revolves the Globe
Yet can splash its bowl when it wants
Swallowing all that comes in the way;
Indeed, fury of nature â it is.
