It used to rain all time
as October and November
were months of monsoon rains
bringing cheer in no time.
It is dry these days
very hot and drought prone
much against the routine
inducting famine all through the days.
With no rains in the yard
and oppressing heat in the field
there is a disproportionate feed
similar to the Great Famine .
The break of routine is not new
as it occurred even in the past
with the duration shortly cast
while now it stretches in a long queue
With the extension of dry spell all year round
none could survive with ease
as the scarcity mounts in leaps and bounds
filtering a not so pleasant experience all around.
How to combat Nature”s fury?
It has stubbornly gone ahead
denying the rightful rains at proper time
Well, it is perhaps its anger cast in a bury.
