Summer In Village. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

There in the village pond
I used to take bath
The cool water in the lake
And a swim across the pond
The most happiest event in my day
One day I gone to the pond
After a gap of few days
The water was so meager
Than usual water storage
The fishes were crying
The scorching sun makes them burn
The crabs are running here and there
For finding a good shelter sometime
The crows were waiting nearby trees
Looking for the fishes in danger
And imminent death they feels
The helplessness of life I saw
How the summer days heat we suffer
year after year it goes upwards
The climate change may be the reason
But suffering is suffering
May a good shower come to rescue.
