Forecast

Three astrologers 
one in saffron robes,
 the other  pious 
 with ash (vibuthi)
smeared liberally 
while the third one 
 with a long beard, 
forecast the year  ahead 
 on 30/ December/ 2019,
claiming precision.

2020 will be an year 
of great prosperity
economy will flourish 
an year of good crops,
the world will not encounter 
any health issues. copious rains,
no floods  on the anvil
 quoting from the almanac  
 Panchangam as it is called.
I look back as 2020,
