The Rain Came
The rain came.
Eagerly all were waiting for it.
But a torrential fall
for a few days
rivers, lakes, ponds are in spate.
From the pond of the poor farmer
fishes swam away to freedom,
caught from the roadside rills
and drains casting nets,
speared in the courtyards.
Oh farmer!
How can you claim
those fishes as yours?
Run oh farmer,
bring your net
catch as much you can
running here and there.
