Open The Floodgate.. Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

Open The Floodgate..



Looking through the thick jungles of greens,
My favorite yellow and blue birds not seen,
Mushrooms stopped growing their fans,
The clouds are seeded with misty steam,

The message from the Arctic and Antartic region,
Pouring through our unprepared dams and floodgates,
To flow through our homes to increase our woes,
The low lined hearts are too weak to bear these tests.

The cup of our neighbor's are full reached the roof,
Evacuated before it overflowed, now at the shelter,
The invisible power of the electromagnetic troubles,
Strategically located eyes can view all these episodes,

Last month an unusual visitor who is called as a tornado,
Came to our East coast without the banging of the gongs,
Floods are normal in tropical forests, the mustache,
Of the river mouth, tears from the eyes are self expressive,

Hundreds of thousands are stranded and stationed,
Where the races of people still hold the eligible cards,
Allocated funds will be abused, crumbs for citizens,
A temporary stay on this station is a funny nightmare.

either opening or retaining of the floodgates,
will ruin the safety of our tender race,
we will open the floodgates to save the structures,
Let the strong survive in the safe places.
