March of History

by Dr. Raj Vatsya

Born under hooves in synchronous march
pounding breast of earth forever
fought without swords, without spears

Sound of whip slashing through wind
punctuated with occasional howls of masked wolves
ripped fabric off membranes of ears

Forever is long time

Tip thrashing flesh off fingers
tangles at times in tender twigs
sprouting out of broken bodies

Reverses the course of history

History has toiled for ages
laboriously crafting lessons
crowding words on countless pages

Does not forgive man
for ignoring
