The earth is now sheathed in an eerie darkness

The thoughts are not mine...I have just transliterated masterpiece poetic composition of famous Bengali poet, Jibanananda.

The earth is now sheathed in an eerie darkness;
Those who are blind now see the most,
Whose hearts bear no love or affection,
Where ripples of compassion do never surface,
The world now sways not without their counsel.
Those who still have deep reliance in humanity,
Who still find intrinsic values in great truth,
Or in culture, or art or its fondly pursuit,
Their souls now lay offered at vultures’ feast!
