Regent of the north
In hand my canopied horde
Faced with the mace, they will extol
Defending the order, adorned in awards
Yet as unholy, I am less than half my overthrower
And so breaks the turf of the usurper
Grasping for as much as it can plant
Back again into its soil
Those who left her untenable
The first to be deflected
Those who led the heaving
The first to be relieved
For of need
To play
Piety
Gave way
The furthermost grove
Rewarded pining
Take the side
Of the corroding marvel deliverer

Ishana

I try with my trident
To put a dent in heads of establishment
The former hosts of umbrageous procurements
Into the hole, outrage at lines of defense
For mispronouncing my countenance
As the red flag chased by oxen
That which I would otherwise ride
To the step at my consort’s bed
As complex and tender as
her dominating objects
Are the posterity
harnessed in the chalice

Indra

The few that hold thunder must
pass it around the circle
Coming to terms with their rung in the sequence
Survival is the death of a symbol
Given the right speech leaps from the shelves
Hedonism resonates, but
soon, will be a revision of drinking games
Those that know their own geography
are not only a threat to the stubborn
Ten tusks on the elephant
Presence spotless
Bathe in the stream and be impelled with it
Confine in the enclosure and be found in the rubble
Outcome differs upon the day done
The nipple of Karman line is a geyser
Cradle has been swept of its churches
Culprits undeserving of the benefits
So as it stands they will drown in it

Vayu
06:47
|

|
Premises motion the wind and lurch seas
All but mammals (the first underneath)
Goaded ahead in the event
No longer the steed ridden
Drivel on dirt (before the purple entourage)
The surrender of a miscarriage, awash
Errant deities relinquish faculty
Who, then, to teach of the supreme
|

Agni
03:24
|

|
When the candles fall from the ledge
Not even the lord can prevent
Immediate slaughter of the inviolate
Severing the link for all inklings of life
Wings cannot carry above the volcanic province
There is no swaying fate

Varuna

Stretch out into the void of your frame
Discover the impact which met the epipelagic
Revived by the reptile
In fullness, a favor unfulfilled
Chagrin imagined through the caustic fibers
Of a traitorous assist
Under the cover of the punisher
Either give in or be out
The mélange of gods
Recycled for example
Adjust with the primordial
and fall short of the gold
With no hold over divinity
The resort is an ultimatum
Choice, however, is invisible
The ordained regulate
the amount of oxygen
A thousand remedies,
(a thousand remedies) and it leaves
Take time to act
The gentle sounds vanish
and those sworn to protect
will only swivel at the riotous
In a blink there will be
nothing left to help
A flaming arrow to the ocean

Nirrti
04:52
|
|||
|
Blades approach the branches
Suffocating species that encircle
Bar none, the hymnals ineffectual
Treasured ringlets drape over the domain
Painted a shade south of a damp lantern
Drop to the bottom ring of survival instincts
The purana cozily immortalized
While the present skin the planet for rations
Arisen from venom to a despondent Tenebrae
|

Yama
07:38
|
|||
|
Every stride cracks the stratum
Vestigial support systems plunge
into the furnace
Survived by not even a shadow
Most distant from the minerals
Fields walk opposite the buffalo
Armed to seize the wall for bardo
One last time, the chain whistles
one last time
and the dull grapple sears through
the avalanche
Father of pharmacy smothers
its sons, daughters, and every other under
The well of its supply in unforgiving drought
First of its kind, a demonstration
A precedent set for all sub-adamant
A fate as ageless as aiding the aimless
