    Mang Teban and the Weather is a poem that describes how a man named Mang Teban's mood changes with the weather. On a hot, sunny day, Mang Teban is in a sullen mood and wishes for rain to cool him down. Later, when it is raining heavily and salt prices are high, Mang Teban reproaches the sky and wishes for sunny weather again, showing how the weather can influence one's perspective and desires. The poem explores the cyclical nature of wanting what one does not have based on changes in the environment.

    Mang Teban and the Weather

    By: Josue Rem Siat

    One April noon when all was bright


    And clear and dazzling to the sight
    Beside the road mang Teban stood
    Wiping his face in sullen mood.
    He saw the heatwaves in the glare
    As evils on the stage afire
    And chafed in the sultry air
    And wish for rainy days.
    Then ( whwn salt sold at treble price)
    And muddy pools mockey cloudy skies
    Mang Teban, passing dripping trees,
    With trouser rolled up to his knees,
    Reproached the sky and saw the rain
    As Diablo dancing in the in the mire-
    And shrank in the pelting rain-
    And wished for sunny days.
