Loading ...The poem depicts flightly how my ancestral village grapples with darkness and mosquitoes in the night and excruciating heat in the day for want of electricity thanks to the misdeeds of venal employees. Villagers are too meek to stage even a protest.
A person disgusted with the ways of villagers and venal employees throws the question back at a first time visitor when he asks just usually, “will the light come?” and begins to croon scornfully:
Will the light come?
Will the light come?
Will the light come?
Will the light come?
A million dollar question answer it in yes or no.
No one in this village has been able to do so.
Will you be the one who will like to have a go?
Say yes or no.
Will the light come?
Will the light come?
Will the light come?
Will the light come?
Don’t keep your heart and mind pacing to and fro.
But before you say a word think of con and pro.
Will you like to be labeled swan or a crow?
Say yes or no.
Will the light come?
Will the light come?
Will the light come?
Will the light come?
Ok, ok, ok.
Let me help you little with a limit of high or low.
From an hour or two, I am yet to see it grow.
So that makes for just two hours out of twenty four.
Now say yes or no.
Will the light come?
Will the light come?
Will the light come?
Will the light come?
All that the first time visitor could come up with was a petrified look.
He was to spend a week in this den of darkness and heat waves.
