Above the hills, thick cloud hovered
Behind it the burning sun slumbered
Returning the day to night
With little or no grim of light
Then great wind arose and raved
Excited leaves danced and waved
Thatches left their roof in tremble
And fear griped the earth to tremble
Flash of lightning illuminated our local football pitch
As we jumped and shouted in high pitch
Singing songs and poems learnt in school
Hoping to swim in the village gallop pool
When the cloud condensed like ice block above the sea
Heavy shower was all we could see
As heaven weep and weep and weep
Flogging the roof with its cold whip
Couples giggled and say to their partners
'' Come let us sow seed like farmers ''
In the air, we drummed our loud screams
As rain bathed the earth with running streams
But when thunder roar and clap
They run to sit on their mother's lap
But I run to bury myself in my mother's arms
For her arms is protective, lovely and war
