Does rain possess a mind?
Or else, why does it downpour
Like a torrential lashing
Into the miseries of the poor
Does rain possess a mind?
Or else, why does it drizzle like
Kindness again and again
Into the affluence of the rich
Does rain possess a mind?
Or else, why does it play havoc
Always in some regions
As floods and landslides
Does rain possess a mind?
Or else, why does it hesitate to come
Sometimes, becomes incessant
Another time, breaks and clears
Does rain possess a mind?
Or else, why does it waffle indefinitely
To pour down in some places
And makes the land a rain bird.
