As the gray
skies deepened,
Heavens
loudly burst opened,
With a vigorous
clap of thunder,
Streaks of lightning
making all wonder.
Was it the
greens of monsoon?
That received
the pouring boon.
Falling on
the lush green floor,
But it was in
fact, the season of parched moors.
What a
deluge it was,
Beyond any
reason or cause,
Reprieve from
the sweltering heat,
Or kicking
the farmer, already beat.
One side of
the world, it was a day of selfies,
With piping
coffees or monogrammed cups of slurpies,
The other
side, it was a great bane,
Months of
toiling drowned in vain.
Rows and
columns of well-ordered crops,
So nimbly
did they flop,
As water flowed
sans barrier,
Rolling
tears mimicking a river.
Who is the culprit?
Aggravating
nature’s hissy fits,
For burning
through coal pits,
Killing
animals for fur lined kits.
This cruel
change of winds,
Result of the
burning sins,
Merciless murder
of grand trees,
Fueling privileged
sprees.
very well written, keep up the good work Tanvi!!
