Inequity

Falling from a lofty mountain,
the river outreaches the village,
where a mob awaits to nudge
and others build the hedge.

Little drops from the fluffy clouds
set foot on the treasured ground,
sometimes dampen the heat wounds
and sometimes make houses drown

Majestic tree gives shades to cows and pigs,
but kills the worms by hurling its twigs.
And the regal sun gives life to flowers,
but blazes the boneless worms that crawl

Even the nature, alike the god,
bestows blessings to some
and blows curses on others.
And when we question them
they both go dumb 
incuplating the karma...

Nature can be so compassionate and yet so cruel. Well expressed.

Your musing and imagery are food for thought, Supraja. Nature is complicated, and not always easy to comprehend. ~ Regards // paul

Life and nature both have that effect--great observation and detailed imagery in your poem, Supraja.
