A Long Wait For The Storm! Poem by Ramesh T A

Parched earth in quest of water waits for the
On coming cyclonic storm whether it brings
Heaviest rain or less rain, it is immaterial as
The monsoon failed to bring needed rains..!

Shortage of river water sharing between States
Both have gone to courts to settle the matter
Sans any relief for the farmers to go on their
Pursuit of producing food crops to feed all ever!

Long droughts and failure of monsoons have
Driven all to pray for Rain God to sanction some
Rain, even if it be in the form of cyclonic storm, to
Settle all matters of shortages spoiling soils sure!

Waiting with eyes wide open towards the sky and
In the direction of storm all hope for the better soon!
