AGONY
Lament trepidation
look through,
Prevalent summer heat
kills true,
Blinding skylight
less cloud clean,
Shade under the tree
differentiates win,(1)
The hot wind blisters
parched lips,
Thirst a glass of
water eagerly sip,
Eyes are burning,
dust penetrates,
Walking under the sun
frustrates, (2)
Umbrella of little
use heat painful,
Human life to work
miseries rule,
Travel on duty
distant places sadly,
Lack of sleep life is
sufferer madly, (3)
The river is dry bed
sand quarry busy,
Construction works
continue easily,
Observed the laborer,
his wife, his child,
Child on a cement bag
wife shield, (4)
Aluminum bowl rice,
water, onion,
Salt chili fried
vegetable companion,
Surprise, they smile,
defeating summer,
Work their best time
money spinner, (5)
Got tears, poor man's
life winner,
School colleges are
closed in fear,
Heat stroke loss of
life warning news,
Villages suffer lack
of water reviews, (6)
Cracked fields open,
farmers wait,
Pray for rain comes
sowing duly met,
The cattle, thirsty,
throng to the pond,
Surprising there is a
human bond, (7)
Crowded well ponds,
village women,
Summer water
scarcity costs mainly,
Ripen fruits
summertime market,
Flushed supper malls
juice target, (viii)
Cricket mad country
summer night,
A million throngs of
noise deafen sight,
Hill stations are
crowded on holidays,
Children amidst
nature dismay, (9)
Memorable wait for
summer again,
Hill stations
mesmerizing train,
Summer heat generates
clouds,
Rain only comes
after, life shrouds, (10)
Squall comes thunder
symphony,
Apparent summer heat,
not agony,
Invitation for
rainfall harvesting,
Agony is sweet-sour
to harnessing. (11)
