Ecological imbalance-
Vrita, the Asura from Vedic period
has woken up from his slumber.
                                       
Violent, the human-like serpent
Gets into destruction and
 obstructs nature’s bounties.
                                       
Air heavy with the speech of silence,
life stands still.
                                       
The harbinger of draught,
Serpent dragon,
unleashes a powerful force,
his tail rambling the streets,
tentacles squeezing the earth dry.
                                       
Hot breath sweeps across the terrain,
Burning all lives, choking the rivers dry.
Life crouches in caves and prays
for respite, as Vrita wrecks his havoc.
