LO! THE RAIN IS CAUGHT IN AN IMPASSE!

LO! THE RAIN IS CAUGHT IN AN IMPASSE!

As usual, the Rain has reached again
Accompanied with happiness for some
Escorted by miseries for others;
By filling the thirsty rivers of long cherished desires
By washing away many hopes with Her lashing, dashing storm!
Thus, blithe seeds sprout, albeit germinates a sorrowful germ!

Some welcome Her with garnished garlands of joy
Others denounce Her, for she causes havoc, and does destroy!
Some adore and  adorn Her with shining pearls of laughter
Others abhor Her as a heartless and merciless slaughterer!
Some copiously eulogize Her as a great, bounteous Benefactor
Others damn and censure Her as a cruel, tyrannical Dictator!
Alas! She is caught in an inescapable impasse of confusion
For, some call Her a boon, while others a baneful ruination!

*impasse – a deadlock/a critical situation
* lashing – heavily striking
* dashing – striking
* blithe – happy/merry
* albeit – even though
* garnished – decorated
* denounce – condemn/ criticize
* havoc – destruction
* copiously eulogize – praise a lot
* damn and censure – condemn
* tyrannical - cruel
* baneful ruination – destructive devastation
