PINNACLE

Prasanta Panda

Sun is Fire-spitting
Volcano is erupting
Pacific Ocean is spewing
Vast areas inundating.

Sun is burning
‘Varats’ are drum-beating
Modern-girls, pocession leading
High-decibel sounds limit- crossing.

Oceans are roaring
Sea bed is heating
Smokes are curling
Pollution is menacing.

Late night parties are happening
Heavy-weights patronizing
Light-weights floating
Light is extinguishing.

Sarkar changing
Leaders coming and going
Time is unforgiving
Fate of lower-rung is on- changing.

Children!
snake and ladder playing
Mother!
Rope or Snake mistaking
Talent!
step by step scaling
Finally!
Pinnacle touching.

Dogri-clad Kashmir is welcoming
Unique Keshar is saffroning
In Srinagar-sky,
Drones twinkling
Befitting G-20;
Culturally Preservating
