Bengal's Woes

Birth of a Star
          Wash me,Cleanse me of my sins          As the past rushes in an             overwhelming swell.            The tide of green waters        tears through agonies of yesternight......    Atavistic jealousies,ragings of people        who with hated dread slash through knee-deep weeds,              slush and gore   to meet the imagined foe...... more...
