TORRENTS OF ANGRY WATERS

 

TORRENTS OF ANGRY WATERS

Welcome dear angry waters

What offense did we commit that so matter?

Your unending pouring has flooded our abodes

Torrents of angry waters, please sheathe your sword.

We are pleading for your mercy angry waters

Our governments are busy lining their pockets

If you wage war on us we may suffer

Angry rain, please damage our homes no more.

Welcome rain season of great expectations

Let the furious winds and angry waters stay above

Their services are no longer required below

Torrents of angry waters stay away from our abodes.

NATURE’S FURY, HERALDING NEW RAIN SEASON

Stormy Rain ravaged most parts of Ibadan the capital of Oyo State-Nigeria on Sunday 17th February, 2013. Devastation unlimited in the history of the city.

Nature's Fury, Heralding New Rain Season.

Angry wind tornadoed my compound,

Elements at its worst best

Merciless rain damaged my home

Nature’s anger, heralding new raining season.

It started as a gentle breeze

Gradually the tempo fast forwarded

The nature we were very hopeful of,

To end the daily heat and draw the night’s coolness

Unknown to us the damages to come

Angry wind marrying a merciless rain

Turned our compounds to heaps of debris.

Oh Lord! Why is it now?

My fence, swept off in a jiffy

My work-in-progress house, hit badly

My poultry shed…damaged beyond repairs

My garden of Moringa and pawpaw

Bowed perennially on their bellies for nature.

It is raining season, welcome nature’s rain

Don’t come again with a fury wind to my home

I love your gentle breeze

Not the turbulent fiery wind,

We cherish your cooling soothes

Not the angry flood of water

Nature’s anger, depart from our abodes.
