Monsoon Showers

The dark clouds with amazing patterns

In the vast sky, as a force of nature

In the month of June

Is a loud signal for monsoons to arrive.

Thoughts with mixed feelings

Make my heart to throb

With the rhythm of the rain.

Water everywhere!

In lush green fields, on roads, junctions

Overflowing rivers and canals,

Crushed crops, uprooted walled structures,

Human cries, horrifying sounds here and there

So devastating is the thought!

How much I wish to have a bosom and pocket

So big to hold the water

And change the path of the swiftly moving currents

To walled canals, dams

Wells and reservoirs,

Store it for barren lands to turn into green blends

And lit the lights in those dark houses

Far in the country side!!!!! 

Then there would be no human cries,no suicides

nobody would hang the family

for the want of food.

Peaceful would be my land

and contended my countrymen.....
