Commercial life blood
Nucleus of activities
Dotted along side

Romantics around
leisurely flow of peaceful
serene surroundings

Beware a monster
Destruction when awakened
Lethal, lots of tears

  5. The mighty Ganges only begins as a spring from the Himalayas, but at spans through several nations before it flows into the Bay of Bengal and hence into the Indian ocean. Indeed it grows into a monster when the alluvial plains are flooded much to the suffering of the people.
