Invoking the Rain gods

    Here comes the month of June 
   Carrying the sultry Summer
   With  its fire and fury,
   In full  measure.

Like the most unwanted guest,
It comes  uninvited,
And continues to overstay,
Despite the hosts' displeasure.

 Equipped with its lethal weapons,
Of  sunstroke and heatwaves,
Burning  all the land and skies,
Whatever falls in its stride.


  The  landscape all  parched up,
  With countless thirsty creatures,
  Facing death-like conditions, 
   Craves for a little respite.

 Even the Sun God seems  to support,
 This  insensible show of strength, 
 Or why is fire being poured down,
 Turning the earth a boiling couldron?

 Mercy, Rain Gods! Have mercy on us,
 Rush down as kind torrents to  douse,
 The callous fire of this unkind  season,
 Restoring cool times of simple pleasures !!!
