A Dry Thought
*************
‘Mom, this star could have been the sun,’
Pointing at the twinkling star,
The little child asked.
Speechless smile of the mother drew it near;
She hugged the little child,
Looking at the open face of starry heaven;
She thought little,
Told nothing.
But her untold speech rushed,
From the South Pole to North Pole;
America to India.
The stars are the cosmic elements;
The sun is the father of the world,
We are kids.
And the mother thought too…
Why we are living in cursed corner,
The Borena region of the East Africa,
The greatest victim of climate change
Is it not partiality of the sun!
We had once good crops;
It was climate change;
Change the soil,
Change the life;
Change the world,
The world of Borena region.
‘No, it can’t be,’
Replied the mother;
We have to tolerate till the death.
