FLOOD FURY
Abundance of water inundates my feelings
with fears of another fierce flood in the land
demolishing nests of the poor, the hapless
drying up the source of tears to open
floodgates of the self-consuming fire 
of remorse in the hollows of their eyes
caught under fall of incessant rain ;

calling the dangers from seasonal sleep
stirring roots of misery from the deep
causing Maoists of liquid terror
to stalk, stab and slay the innocent
with bullets of showers from clouds
of doubts in their muffled brain ;

adding to damages from lingering havocs—
series of super cyclones in a chain
digging at the barks of freshly healed
wounds, for flow of gushing pain
we don’t know why killer water
storms into our hearth and home
like a chronic disease again and again !
