God, Give Us Rain!

The fields are parched; The wells are dry; And people cannot even cry! Birds chirp no more; Leafless are trees; The wind is hot; so's the breeze! The sun scorches; Prevails viral disease; The dam hasn't water to release! Riparian states have gone to war, With words of hate pouring from hearts; Friends turn foes as dharna, strike starts! This year the drought Has been severe; But people need water that's dear! Each day, the farmers gaze Upwards onto the sky, And wish that they did better die! God give us rain; Life can't go on if unopened Remain the flood-gates of Heaven! Copyright by Dr John Celes 6-10-12
