Unfortunate!

Unfortunate!
Silvern

Once, I was a big puddle, almost a Lake.
I gave the sweet water for drinking
and it is the source water supply for farming.
Once, A motor set was pumping my water to the field.
Everything was going alright.

Suddenly, a dishonest promoter saw me.
He wants to evaporate my water.
Except for one or two, all disagreed.
The villagers were too poor.
A wise promoter took the chance.

He announced that he wanted to set up a factory there.
One person from each house got a job there.
The salary would be handsome.
I always see them, the villagers, as my children.
So, how can I be an obstruction in the way of financial improvement?

So, evaporation began.
Sacrificing my life is nothing to me.
But, I saw many scams in my long life.
I hope that that would not be another scam.
But...... It is uncertain....
