Good morning
On bicycles and 'bikes run
With kudams and buckets
On first-chore-water-hunting
Provoking heartfelt empathy
Yet water-hunting isn't much
Empathetic but feasting
Warblers squad signalled
Of sounding bore-well motor..
Overflowing overhead tank pouring..
Birds many round screeching
In gentle drinking harmony
Empathetic humans jostle..
Water-pumps and metro-water cabs
All by road-side screeching humanly
Sympathy or empathy is humans'
Yet apathy is...?
a typical scene in every town or metro...gearing up for water wars!
A very timely piece Indira - well conceived, I agree with you our apathy towards the wastage of water in a year of drought is appalling...thanks for this write
the acitivity draws our attention, even my town faces scarcity of water.....a thoughtful write...thank u madam! !
empathy apathy what ever it is.........we are the sufferers of scanty railfall and birds, animals too........it sounds as borewell signal.........
