The Swaying Rice Stalks

The sequestered plots of green the rice shoots sway in the wind overcast sky remains strangely still ominous signs of a heavy downpour that may flood the crop field washing away the green shoots watery grave stretching to the horizon. The rain falling off and on bringing relief to the dry season filling the rivers, ponds and lakes the woolen winter, spring and summer coming back again to soothe the fray tempers and parched lands. A flooded street keeps you indoors chocking sewerage pipes and gutters drinking water sources are full of germs floating carcasses everywhere rooftops waiting to go under multi-storied buddings holding out a little more till they fall sideways or front faced one on top of another. Rains can raise the food stocks the unceasing downpours trail flooding the countryside and littoral cities synchronizing with hotter summers rising sea levels and melting iceberg Noting new in this but there is no action.
