Natural Greed-Rain Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Natural greed-Rain
Tuesday,15th June 2021

It is an absolute need
it is natural greed
the earth wants it
human beings long for it

nothing is possible
else we have to struggle
for the freshwater
and bear the high temperature

more heat in the atmosphere
there is less fear
as water evaporates
and gets the dark clouds

dark clouds are fully charged
they gang up together
threaten with downpour
and bring relief everywhere

rain is our lifeline
and its role is well defined
the earth gets joy
human beings to enjoy

more or in excess
brings in a critical phase
we suffer yet we rejoice
it is a promise for the future
