MISSION

POEM

Digging deeper and deeper

into the soil

until we found

water springs forth

to the excitement and cheers of all.

Both those at the bottom of the well

who made the ‘mission’ successful

and the onlookers above

our ecstasy found no limits.

Many a time out of

disappointment and impatience

we mulled putting an end to the mission

of digging and digging

deeper and deeper into the soil

we found our tireless

efforts turning infructuous.

Still, out of strong will

and determination

we made it possible

at a time scarcity

of water turning the earth into a desert

a sad story across the world.

Yes,

we are happy for the time being

but

how long is the question

which stares straight into our eyes…

Anyhow

as of now

we are happy, hilarious

and ecstatic…..
