The Undesired Present

As the flickering beams of light soared in the radiant morning sky,
The petrichor’s enhancement in the surroundings,
No longer decided to sustain.

The thin blades of grass murmured to the parched earth,

Yet the voices were disregarded mercilessly.

The contented butterflies no more danced at the merry tunes,
Instead, held battles with the innocent grasshoppers.
All were enraged with this untimely gift of nature,
And pleaded for their lives to remain and esteem.

The course of the incensed river furiously chased the sea,
As if it were to swallow it whole.
The thirst to take revenge upon this indomitable spirit was seen in the shadows,
Thus, they prepared with perfect clenched fists.

The hostile beasts on the other side,
Begin to march up in hope of victory,
Dancing together in the menacing fires.

As the red eyed devil mounted up the dreary cliff,
Overseeing its enemy, who were eager to quarrel,
He instantly let himself down, and was rather guilty for his cold hearted conduct.

Unable to bear the misery, after causing harm to the unimpeachable,
He regretted, causing distress
Thus, he declared himself as inferior,
Walking back solemnly into the land that welcomed only “grievers”.
