Selected poems by Dr R S Tiwari

Single Umbrella Empire

Time doesn’t know how to retreat,
It goes ahead with its unseen fleet.

Truly,the time once gone is gone for forever,
None can visualise its womb and discern ever.

It has its single umbrella empire, bearing varied names ,
Makes princes the poor, brings big guns bad names.

Unfolded dark pages of history can be witnessed in its mirror
In the name of natural calamities and wars with scars and terror .

Change,chance,fate and fatalities are its magical tools ,
With which it raises or trods all, called kings,clowns and fools.
