Sitting Under A Cloud Poem by Babatunde Aremu

Sitting Under A Cloud

Rating: 5.0


The cloud is thick and misty
Not that the rain is about falling
Its an omnious cloud
Its a terrible thick cloud
Raining hales and stones
The storms are fierced
Yet, everyone is non-challant
Sitting comfortably unabashed
The cloud is embarrasing
There's a deep sense of dereliction
Couple with solemn irresponsibility
Now we're walking down the road
Deep into thick darkness
The future is bleak
Yet, our nobles are unperturbed
