NIGHT
With the exit of the golden blazing Ball,
Sneaks shyly and quietly into the Sky She,
Accompanied by a coarse, black canopy,
Converts the Earth into a sombre and gloomy hall!
She is greeted by the greedy, scurrilous nocturnal beings,
The tired and fatigued diurnal ones keep to the protective indoors,
The wanton and lewd miscreants revel with the loathsome colours,
Malaria rampantly spread by the venomous mosquito stings!
The Earth becomes heavier than lead at Her arrival thus,
Lighter and more relieved She seems to see Her depart!
A contemptible curse for some; while a blissful boon for the others,
Notwithstanding a necessary Evil, Night can’t be kept apart.!
