And Again You Arrived: Summer












And once again you arrived,
Arrogant stifling summer.
Sometimes I desperately wish,
About your extinction till doomsday.
But, in next appearing moment,
I comprehend about my constant winter prayers,
To return back you, dear, for crushing my hydro-phobia.
Though you provide us with fabulous gifts,
Mango, Water-melon, Musk-melon & Lychee,
But arrives with too many drawbacks.

Look at those green beautiful fresh leaves,
Faded away bcause of your blistering heat.
Look at those sweet actively chirping birds,
Sitting numb with mouth open depicting intense thirst.
Look at those domestic animals,
Lying in shade drousily to overcome heat.
Look at those all-time busy roads,
Now completely desserted.
Look at those humans drenched with salty-mineral soln,
Ending up loosing enormous energy, facing dirrhea nausea & fatigue.
Look at those men,
Running here & there for coolers & ACs.
But what about those who can't afford?
Look at those daily news lines,
Reading the number of deads due to sun-stroke.

Ohh! rude summer,
Your extensive heat supports development of new viruses,
Causing dangerous physical diseases & skin diseases too.
It also end up stimulating low BP & anxieties.
Ohh! summer,
Don't you have mercy on us?
Can't you be a little polite & humble?
Ohh! dear i truely agree with your answer,
Yup! you are undoubtedly correct,
We(humans) are the culprit of such crude.
