After a prolonged spell
the dark, clouded sky
opened up with
rains keeping on pouring down.
The reluctant showers
came down, though belatedly
could provide relief to
the drought-hit Earth,
the humankind, animal kingdom
and other living beings.
Nowadays the seasons
keep no time-schedule,
cyclic though they are bound to be
they come sometimes early, sometimes late.
Man’s hopes and dreams are
kindled each season
rains approach us hesitatingly.
Carbon emissions continue
to penetrate the ozone layer
deforestations wipe away
the lush greenery
the hills being plundered
and mined on a regular basis
melting glaciers causing
the water levels of the oceans rising
seasons upset the apple-cart
and the weather cycles following no pattern.
