" SHUT   DOWN  "

Leave  aside  those  intellectual ' gems'
even  Martian  water  or  Galactic  Space
 or  even  your   Lunar-dream ,    Quarks  or   quantum -talks
or  any 'Hyper  space '  or   themes  of  cosmic  joy !

Invading  our  homes  and  neighboring  world
all  Cyclonic  clouds  or  storms  or   lightning -  dance
the  Global   'Shut  Down  '  descends  for  all , - it  seems
feeding  selfish  urge  or  canine  greed
and engulf  us  all , like viral  spread
with  Canyon -  cracks  in    Civilized   World   and  mind
threatening  even   Human - existence ,  dear !

Listen  friend  now ,
this  not  the  Time  of  festive  joy   or romance -when
just  beyond   our  doors
 by Man-made   devices  this  strangulated  Time   gasps  
so  hard  !
