The Chennai Rain

“Thunderous skies galore and when the color of the city turns black and dark,

Ravishing rains strike the people like a razor sharp arrow flowing from an ark;

Vociferous velocity of water streaming through every house, office and park,

Stranded and isolated the battered people were struggling to find their mark;

More and more as the rain pours down like a hare at race,

Flood like situation with excessive water pumped out is already in place;

Electricity, network, transportation compounding the trouble in its very own ways,

Pray my dear friend and hope the punishing rains stop in the coming days;

As the days moves on and the rain goes on, helping hand is what we bank on,

Boats in the streets and helicopters in the sky are the only sight we see day and dawn;

Army on the floor and the relief work strike the chord, we salute you for your helping hand,

Government yet to make a mark as the blame game starts, donation only to pose in TV to brand;

The real heroes of the show were the common people on the street,

Day in and day out they work together to bring the city back on its feet;

From food to shelter, from water to medicine, you guys reached every possible stride,

Hail you angels for your humanity and strength, as a proud citizen you are the city’s pride;”
