After The Storm
As in nature created and nurtured
So also is in human existence
When the wind, strong and sweeping
Blows southwest or northeast
In high speed
Playing up brown dust along
Forced up the ground that's dry
After the ground for long had yawned
Absolutely thirsty for the usual rain
The sky water that splatter down below
To give the earth the comfort
And, indeed, the leaves, reptiles et al
Lives renewed
In quick succession to the wind that blows
As God does near and hear
The supplications of the earth
And all things living contained therein
The heaven then opens its kind belly
Lo! tumble down usually is torrent
The rain strong and sweeping too
Under the darkness from the sky
Sending human beings scampering
For safe cover away from cold
First in evolution such as this
Windstorm that frightens the living
Then the rain storm that threatens structures
And finally, a quietude like in grave yard
As the storm vanished into nothigness
It's often the time stock is taken
On what's lost and what's gain
As in nature created by God
So also is in human existence
When he drenched in hardship of life
Struggle against all odds
To reach the apex of what he's focus on
So he can stand among the equals
In school foods are hard to come by
Cos, money is in short supply
Having been raised and rose in poverty
The end walks in favourably
To justify all the hazzles
About this poem
