Subterranean (poem)

Subterranean
_----------

Where solidarity is virtue
Individuality a vice
Where hushed whispers drown
In symphonies
Of exultation.

Volcanoes drench farms in molten minerals
Fall silent again
Lava tales linger.
A phosphoric breeze
Mixes with the morning air
Somewhere, a paddy blooms
The sunlight smiles
           -- Madhavan N, 2018
