Roaring Rain
Roaring Rain
In the midnight
It started!
Slowly; slowly drop after drop
Descending to thirsty earth!
Soon the sound of drops became
Incessant; roaring rain!
Rain,
Rain, long companion
Of the earth throughout the night!
Somewhere
Sound of two-wheeler
Stuck in rain fail of pluck
Water streams ;
Slum people screams
Shattered dreams
Mixed in the night
Nightmare throughout!
Water gushed
through the doors
Pushed to unknown terrain!
Rain, rain, rain,
Pain, pain...
Life is rein in the hands
Of god unknown!
