An unexpected cloud burst can easily inundate the low lying areas like slums....! The poor are always badly hit by such sudden changes in nature. You said so much through a simple haiku, Lasaad !

Nature is indifferent to lavishness Lasaad, after all it’s just a human concept, if we choose to live near the edge, there is a always a price to pay, wonderful haiku, cheers David
