DOWNPOUR


Started like drops from the sky
Then the thoughts of men on the road began to fly
The clouds had began to cry
Getting a covering we had to try

Oh! We discovered that the ground had a smell
The meeting point of the two elements was evident with holes
Sun gave way for this marriage of giants
Day looked like night

Play ended; but had just begun in some corners
Jumping, laughing and shouting with wet clothes
The shallow roots smiled in reception
While the legs of the Iroko stored for the dry days

Leaves were made to jump and dance
Roofs sang and made melodies without choice
As the flood gates of heaven were opened
Drizzles became downpours

The wind felicitated with her brother
Giving him the power to scare further
Lightning and effects on the stage were added by thunder
Sitting in the hut, we meditated in the weather

Those that have shades get it employed
Those without have their skins bathed
To some its showers of blessing
Others experience flogging of nature
