POEM
The sky is overcast today with
thick, dark clouds engulfing the land
which reminds one of dark smoke
enveloping the earth
like a torn blanket.
‘It will be
raining today’ – one person
asserted like a meteorologist
‘please don’t have over-confidence
since each dark clouds once appeared
cheated us even before’ – another fellow was talking
with caution.
After a prolonged spell of hot summer
our ire turned against the blazing sun
which made us tired and exhausted.
A lot of people fell unconscious
due to dehydration
and as many died of
sunstrokes with
corresponding rocketing of heat.
The prediction of metereologists
proved somewhat wrong
due to the threat of El Nino phenomenon
this monsoon has
miserably failed and has caused
a damaging exercise
due to deaths of masses,
farmers since they couldn’t sow seeds
due to exorbitant rates of fertilizers
forcing them to end
their lives and cattles driven to abbotoirs,
apprehending constant threats of
modern shylocks.
And as predicted by
the second person within half an hour.
Thick dark and torn carpet of clouds
disappeared and the
sun
with all vendetta again appeared in the sky
our dream of raining profusely
collapsed like a pack of cards.
