Cascade Of Tears

'Tis November, Downpour! The rain rained in torrents, Potholes filled with flood, Automobiles Snailed their way to and from, Our climate changed. The wretched, Made wretched By corrupt officialdom, Famished, Drenched, Huddled in makeshift shelters Bemoaning their sorry state. The flood transported Lifeless bodies of street beggars To the depths of big drains. The sirens blared, Indifferent state officials Driven To and from nowhere By daredevil drivers. My eyes stricken with grief, My heart heavy with sadness, Cascade of tears From my grief stricken eyes.
