Indiscriminating Rains!

the tiny pearls that tumble from heaven

are a boon for some and to some a bane

in their plush balconies some sail paper boats

while some struggle to put together their polythene roofs

some enjoy the splashes and cooks flavorful platter

some struggle to hold on to their belongings amidst flooded squatter  

soggy breeze, damp walls, waterlogged alleys frighten them

while others enjoy sipping steaming cups  in the warmth of their home

to some the rains bestow them undeclared holidays

while some battle to earn and feed the hungry mouths every day 

yet the skinny kids forgetting their worries dance in the puddles

unwinds to their heart’s content, upon tomorrow leaving life’s puzzles  

the sweetest pour gently touch their freckled, tired skin

drenching them in mirth, cheerfulness, an everlasting happy feeling!💚
