Curse of three decades
Driving to graveyards
Closure of “The sluice valves”!
Draying throats, bellies and The Rice Bowl!
Patriots advancing overcoming bars
Wishes of millions and millions!
THEY sought warmth of thicket
THEY felt salty lagoon water’s comfort
Triggers were patient until commands
Disturbing mangroves, muddy waters
Moon light without knowing the truth
Hid THEM for a while
SINNERS’ faith decided and solved!
As a boomerang thrown
It was a Waterloo
Like a cart wheel comes behind a bull!
