Loading ...Where have the rains gone?
Where have the peacocks gone?
Its almost the end of June,
Its almost the end… of a month of monsoon.
It came as a glimmer of hope….
For the parched souls and trees…
Like a deep shimmering light
But went away after the initial days
Now all is there is the sun
And all we can do is watch the clouds,
When will the black ones return?
And pour down the next spell of rains
Where have the rains gone?
Is this what we call global warming?
Or is this a global warning…
Of things to expect in the near future
During Winter, it was unusually cold,
During Summer, it was too blistering hot,
And we thought now that it is the monsoons…
There would be a heavy downpour
Instead of the thunderous applause…
Of the clouds and the sky…
All we are getting is a meager ensemble
Of them scattered thin and far.
Where have the rains gone?
Should we pray to the rain gods?
Should we plant more trees on land?
And appease them for a while
When will we learn?
When will we stop the destruction…
When will we stop cutting trees, killing animals and precious birds
For the interest of a small segment of humankind.
Or will it only get worse?
Is there a glimmer of hope?
That some enlightened minds…
Will come to the rescue of our mother earth.

Good Poem, Liked it substantially.
Suggest following small addition;
“When will we stop cutting trees, killing animals and precious birds
For the cruel & evil interests of a small segment of humankind.”
“Now all is there is the sun”….
Suggest you change it to ” Now all remains is the Sun”
Can some enlightened minds save it? Maybe everybody needs to rise and come to the rescue
I am a very optimistic person who always finds a light at the end of the tunnel. Creative at heart, reminiscing the past but an eye on the future , intuitive, good hearted, striving for the best, caring towards all are some of the traits that would describe me.
“Is this what we call global warming?
Or is this a global warning…
Of things to expect in the near future”
nice.
