A Secret To Prosperity! Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

A Secret To Prosperity!



Wandering clouds not so focused,
For where to rain, it not yet decided,
Running from country to country,
Gathering the seeds that can spray,
People look up for rain, but no clouds,
Bright yellow sun and the blue sky,
The tears of rain in their deepened eyes,
The shopping clouds look down at them,
Clumsy they are and hunger rules them,
The proud clouds with the bounty of water,
Hate these poor people and move quicker,
And there are green mountains with flowers,
The running clouds stop all of a sudden,
For it amazed by the swelling of that woman,
Just start to clear what it stores for many hours,
Heavy rain on the mountain and the river sisters,
Flow down to the civilization, the rich people,
All around, as they know how to save water,
People who are ignorant of importance of forest,
Fell the trees for quick money and luxury,
Those who already felled, know the misery,
The clouds in the sky, know this exactly,
The poor will remain poor, if not sorry,
And to replant the trees quickly.

1. Water management is the most important aspect for the development of a Nation, which India and other developing countries lack and their agricultural produce do not get the good price, though the consumption of water is so huge for producing a kilo of grains, a cup of milk and the rest. 2. Deforestation should be controlled, but to keep the world clean, why do the poor countries have to maintain their rain forests with out any contribution from the rich countries.. Aamit, Based on the above two points, could you please write down your thought? Thank you for your opinion here and you are requested to confine to the water management issue only.

I don't know why the typed comments don't appear here. I retype here: The shopping clouds amaze at the lush green mountains and pour down the rains but the clouds look down upon the forests bereft of trees. So the poor remain poor. How conservation of forests is important for bringing rains is beautifully shown.
