A fierce sun comes out
during the first week of May
lasts till the the third week.
21 days steadfast
Known as Agninatchathram,
where Sun burns like fire
scorches the skin, sucks
the water out.
Man remains a shell of his self
while e earth appears
parched, broken turns
lifeless.
Trees look pale, flowers
shrink and droop, dogs
go panting with, tongues
hanging out.
Sun turns merciless
Its brilliance blinds,
The rays penetrate
prick and hurt.
Abundance of heat suffocates,
so to say, the giver of life
flouts and plunders without
concern.
Nature behaves like a villain
Attacks, slaughters, turns
the world upside down.
It is but natural.
