An excess be it rain or shine
could be a bane or a boon
could not be averted at any cost
it is nature’s way of dealing
a shortfall or an abundance
could spell a doom to mankind
all the more they could be prevented
a storage of surplus water in lakes and ponds
as well in dams and reservoirs be the usual terms
while the lakes and ponds are no where 
to be found
with universities and apartments growing over there
the flow of water enters the town and floods the roads
finds its way into the buildings and houses
carrying with it the dirt, rubbish, snakes and wasp
people raise a hue and a cry and bemoan
being their own folly as could be seen
yet they do not turn for the good in attempts
go about on their own accord after the havoc
memory being short and strange as all.
