Water-friendly

Who floats these rumours
So ridiculous as to be
Downright suspicious
That a change of guard
Will bring copious rain?
The previous ruler too
Was thought to be water-friendly
Bringing a bountiful monsoon
Year after year, till the elements
Rebelled and almost submerged
The entire capital city;
The rumours have begun again
Now taking a digital route
Speaking in favour of another actor
Still waiting for his inner voice
To command him
To serve the people
In flesh and blood
And rescue the two monsoons
From the villainous El Nino.
