Freed River

Snow melted, And water flowed, It was a small stream, More of it came from four other streams, It was now river, It cut across valleys, And made ways, It meandered to new alleyways, It brought along lot of fishes, And submerged many a land of riches, Knowing its fury when it rained, Guys got about restraining its stand, They built a dam across it, And also got its water to give energy, When it flowed across, It touched towns and villages gross, They came to worship it as their mother, At the same they filled her with dirt, Till she could not breathe, And was choked and smothered, She even now had water, But its color and content had changed, Laden with weight, It now had a timorous stand, It groaned under the weight, Only parts of it evaporated, And got the freedom to rest.
