INEVITABLE
when the rain stops
the drizzles bring the rainbow
the symbol of hope and prosperity
you go to the road-side palmist
with a caged parrot
trained to flip out your future card
you run to your astrologer friend
who suggests steps to avoid
the impending danger the gem-stones required
you look forward to night sky
to identify falling stars
and whisper your wishes in hussed manner
but when the clouds overshadowed the sky
for the next bout of rains
the lightning falls on the tallest tree of the village
reducing all your efforts to ashes
