The Scarcity. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Beautiful Kerala with greenery
A place of rivers and lakes
A place of heavenly like landscape
A place of coconut palm trees
Standing like the sportsmen
In perfect health, and strength always
Gone in the drought with heads going down
Some rotten, and heads are fallen
The land is just like a desert
The water sources missing underneath
Going down to down every day
Beautiful Kerala, scarcely gets water
The punishment of climate so cruel
The punishment from which we to learn
Every drop of water is most precious
In need of time a life it saves.
