Anxiety in the rain

Suddenly
The rain fell,
With the speed 
Of the wind's spell.
The women vegetable vendors
Packed with haste,
Running for cover,
Rebuking
The rain's wild waste.
They worried what to sell
If the rain didn't cease,
For the day's necessity 
To earn was 
A pressing need.
Their need for money 
Was urgent,
A daily struggle to make 
Ends meet in the night
While the paddy fields
Waiting for the rain .
