The Future

హలాలు పట్టి పొలాలు దున్ని
చెమట నీళ్ళతో నేలను తడిపి
ఆరుగాలము సేద్యం చేస్తే
వెన్నుల జారెను గింజలు చారెడు
రైతు కన్నుల కారెను పుట్టెడు

గుండెలు మండి కడుపులు కాలి
అప్పుల ఊబిలో కూరుకు పోయి
అమ్మక తప్పక అమ్మివేసెను
అమ్మ నేలను అంగడి సరుకుగ

తర్వాత

తల్లి గుండెను బద్దలు చేసి
రక్త మాంసములు రాళ్ళుగ మార్చి
పరచి వేసిరి పదముల కింద
రత్న గర్భ్హను ఛిద్రము చేసి
చల్లని తల్లిని వంధ్యను (barren) చేసిరి

ఏదో ఒక నాటికి

జానెడు పొట్టకు మెతుకులు లేక
మట్టి ముద్దలే అన్నము నీకు
తాగు నీటికి కటకట లాడ
కన్నీళ్ళే నీ దాహము తీర్చు
కడకు కాల్చుటకు కట్టెలు దొరకక కాకుల గద్దల  పాలే నీవు

A poem by GOWRI.
PS: GHMC wants water meters for every connection as there is no water in and around Hyderabad. We had no rains for 4 years in Kavali.--No trees anywhere around Kavali--Only plots and it is the same everywhere.

Every morning - I wake up screaming at a snoozed clock, run through the house getting ready and go to the office on empty stomach.

Every morning - I wake up on time to a smiling face, have breakfast and have enough time to comb my hair!

Every evening  - I get home, go out for meals .Talk with lavi about our day@the office(colleagues,
bugs, business trips) watch TV or a Telugu movie.
