Tale of two Cracks 
__________________

Farmers Heel crack
S C R E A Ms
Bountiful harvest 
is no time to rest  
From Farm to Market
Middlemen exploit 
Money lenders squeeze 
Scheme benefit vanishes 
Bumper crops 
finally yield cropped price 

Farmers lugged 
on soil to survive
But best efforts 
and worst System 
cracked their hopes
created cavities on heels
Unable to crack 
mystery of destiny
hung by rope on tree
World calls it suicide
But is a murder 
abetted by apathy of society

Land Peel crack
S C R E A Ms
Ecology cycle of 
Water-Vapour-Clouds-Rain 
callously breached 
Depleting water table
meagre network of irrigation 
leaving soil parched 
Brittle cracked pieces of soil 
sliced sand gasping for life 

Disregard for Environment
causing floods, famines 
drenching, dehydrating soil 
depleting nutritious layer
fertile land turning barren
Earth suffers miscarriage
feeding bosom dries
Blossom dies 
Flora and Fauna cries 
World calls it Natural calamity
But is ecology's murder 
abetted by humans antipathy
