India has water shortage
We have no political will to manage
Only vote bank is kept in mind
So people have found lacuna

The water taps are kept open
Water is flowing as taps are not closed even
It is used to check as morning alarm
It is causing embarasment and great harm

There is no proper storage
Sometimes due to poor drainage system
The city areas are waterlogged
As water finds no dug holes to pass

Illegal encroachment is made on the exit points
The civic authorities fail to maintain
The clear drainage system
The poor public suffer in each season

Weather plays the role of villain
Sometimes there is no access if rain falls in access
And sometimes there is shortage
Each time we suffer due to drainage or heavy fall

The corruption is rampant
Let us praise the steps taken by chennai civic deparment
There is rain harvest
The rainy water is stored and served as best inteerst
