Kalyug
The skies darken
As the sun dies
Up in the heavens
The angels cry.
The earth burns
In the flames of hell
This day would come
Who could tell?
Love is scarce
Evil is plenty.
Demons are more
And people are scanty.
Children sleep hungry,
Tired and naked.
The devil rules the world
So evil and so wicked.
Our brave heroes now
Commit murders.
Seeing their wickedness
My heart shudders.
The gods we preached
Have run away into hiding.
In their homes
The devil is residing.
Tears of blood filled my eyes,
My mind was filled with aghast.
I wished, I just wished
That this nightmare would not last.

That period is referred to 'Kalyug'
Hence justifying the title of the poem.
