EXPECTATION

 

EXPECTATION

 

 

Inexpressible heartthrob dwells,

Expectant eyes look at sky fuels,

Hope plays every hour cruel fail,

Dark clouds hovering crane nail,(1)

 

White arrow crane intimate hail,

Standing crops survive, not derail,

Growth of grass on embankment,

A peasant sits under a shed lament, (2)

 

Praise the Lord, let not crop damaged,

A heavy shower for a day staged,

Absent the thunder lightning lit,

Weather kind enough passed hit, (3)

 

Sit with his family, kids play well,

The greenery extends to the horizon,

Receding dark clouds, sun wink,

Yearly output farmer pray, link, (4)

 

Greenery to granary September,

Receding rain, Autumn weather,

Lost in thought, dreaming nicely,

Greenish to golden crops visibly, (5)

 

The month shows turbulence,

Occasional hailstorms, credence,

Village life is simple faith worship,

The family engaged in ritual courtship, (6)

 

The delicate heart looks at the sky,

Blue sky inviting sunlight high,

The mirth is a visible golden aura,

August had rain enough for flora, (7)

 

Arrives September, nerves tense,

Absent yearly flood fear pretense,

River breaks embankment flood,

Submerges crop, hard toil blood, (viii)

 

Devastation complete, disappoint,

September havocked aids anoint,

A year hopes bright output high,

September will be less flood sigh, (9)

 

Visiting villages scenic wonderful, 

Anxiety tensions season overrule,

Fairweather standing crops sing,

Gentle breeze plays, fields swing, (10)

 

Welcome September world gather, 

Agog with the visitors, country leader,

Neither are past nor future symbols,

Discuss for world peace stay goal, (11)

 

Seal the animosity chasm tightly, 

Expectations world citizens rightly,

The summit summarizes accords,

Year expect bumper crop records, (12)

 

Infectious hearty smiles peasant, 

Food prices lower home pleasant,

Critical September knocking bell,

The year ends a few months, to tell, (13)

 

Election around the corner warns,

Expectant opposition verbal arms,

United, consult, confide, confused,

Anticipates early election infused, (14)

 

Expectations ruling party bites dust,

The victory of the opposition dreams most,

Sit near a peasant and mesmerize time,

Ripen expectations September fine. (15)

EXPECTATION

 

EXPECTATION

 

 

Confess entwined aspirations,

Hidden in the chamber of heart,

Locked mind, stubborn patient,

Wait desperately every morn duet,

The passion is endless, found shore,

Desperately anxious children fly,

Not one, one by one, spread wings,

Roar in the sky joyous cross seas,

Far continent, dreams of father's heart,

Wonderful people, wealth decent,

Friendly accept the children timely,

Their education skill marvel others,

Married overseas lives satisfaction,

Disobeys tears, happy kids growing,

Materialize opportunity moments,

To watch birds flying from the nest,

Ah, smiling faces, bright eyes gleam,

The life of the father experience unreal seem,

They grow study well disciplined,

Obey parents strictly dream similarly,

Conviction influenced hard work,

Confidence outpour from performance,

Sitting in my car waiting for the children, home,

School time is over bell is ringing,

As if a flood homing school gate,

Laughed silently how much proud,

Three sons and a daughter studying well,

Passions of the human heart found shore,

The rest of the dreams faded automatically,

Surprised no hunger for wealth status,

Not a thirsty heart anymore crying,

Lord has fulfilled beyond what begged,

Oh, the shout, greetings, smiling,

Children inside my car demanding,

Take us home soon as we are hungry,

Why should I be disturbed or angry,

There their mom must be waiting,

Her long look at the far side street for the car,

Sighted electric impulse into the kitchen,

We notice their fight competition,

Enjoyed children finished lunch,

Maybe wish to take rest, or to sleep,

Disturbed someone calling at the window,

A female with two babies is looking,

Begging some food, hungry desperately,

I looked at two kids, skinny and speechless,

Socked to their life without food,

No dress and shelter mother begging,

Lord gives to people starkly strike me,

Sat for a second and looked at my children,

Fortunate? is an obscene word I felt,

Inhuman attitude humiliated me,

Brought kids and mother inside,

Served we couple wholeheartedly,

Admitted them to a shelter home,

Paid for them formality required,

Decided to utilize savings arranged,

The two kids can be admitted into the,

The kindergarten accepted the charge,

My expectation included now these kids.
