Analysis of BLACK GOLD
It started with hopes…
darkness giving birth to dawn
occupants of seas danced
owners of green fields celebrated.
None
saw
the
deaths
behind the lives
flashing in wake
of ferryman of hades
lost in thoughts
of so many souls
ferried in few nights.
Occupants of seas wail
owners of green fields cry
one death too many
visited
by august guests
pumping black-gold
to victory.
It is death, deaths at dawn

The poem is about a rape on nature in the search for natural resources without considering the pains inflicted on Mother Nature & how it robs on our existence as humans
