The Powerful Phone Tower
He planted a tall phone tower,
Digging the hearts of neighboring poor,
Don't! they urged him days and days ever,
Ignoring the neighbors he used all his political power,
Innocent people in the village opposed,
Fearing the nearing monsoon supposed,
It rained,rained and rained in fearing night and day
Ignoring the children singing rain,rain go away,
The silenced sky lost peace like the Tsunami moments,
When the angry foreign waves attacking the waves in movements,
The hours long hunting over by the hunter,
Rolling down big and small balls of thunder,
Killing all electronic lives lit in the homes around the tower,
Worrying the poor how to replace another,
The victimized neighbors in calm like the village after a storm,
Making an unwritten complaint to God sitting in dark in their homes!
