Issues like river water disputes
Linger for long lasting ages
People say water forms lifeline
However disputes live beyond one’s lifetime
The Expert panel’s dam safety report
Can’t be damned any better than this
If people’s lives can be of no respect
No wonder for regrettable tribunal award’s prospect
After many years of serious thinking
The Supreme Court’s ruling can be found wanting
I don’t have any option other than keep counting
The years ahead of this entangled posturing..
Hence at the end of it, no matter how you slice it
You will make no sense out of the incompatible claims...
