#HappyRamaNavami
( Reproducing an old composition on the occasion of Rama Navami)

Just as the rain started to fall,
Forces of good and evil instantly clashed,
In circles and in twirls that darkens all,
Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed,
To the ground, all the buildings and hopes dashed!

Righteousness decreased and the unrighteous increased,
As the good and innocent massacred,
The Yajnas* and temples desecrated,
The saints and sages humiliated,
The women were dishonoured and disrobed!

The brutalities of the Rakshasas**, the evil powers were dominant and all time high,
No one was there to extend...
