In The Rain Poem by Heaven Kalu

In The Rain

Rating: 5.0


I stood in the rain
This morning, hoping that
The blaze of this week's fury
And the sorrow in its company
Could turn a fictional tale.

I stood in the rain
With my eyes tightly shut
While I soar into the sky
So I could beseech the rain
To wash away the pain and agony.

I stood in the rain
With my hands lifted up
Narked at the abysmal uprising
Within the confines of the nation
Whilst her loathsome government
Wallow in their turpitude.

I stood in the rain
Drenched by its drizzle
Wishing June was drenched in May
So that it does not acclimatize
Itself to incessant bloodshed
Cos the scars of the pain lingers in our hearts

Political distemper so described with deep poetic expression. I can relate to this story. Good job. Thanks for sharing.
