Dry and Sunny,
then from nowhere
Came a guest uninvited;
Took everyone unaware.
the tide starts rising,
Flowing steadily
But, not taken seriously.
So uncertain what next it brings.
Now, flowing with speed;
Everything in its path destroying.
No kindness or mercy,
Heartless, so unlovely.
Now, it pours the unpleasantries:
Houses sinking,
Roads dividing,
Crops dying,
Lives hanging-
Afraid of the uncertainty.
Some children see it as funny,
Now I can learn swimming.
Mothers weeping,
Fathers in deep thought-
What could have went wrong?
Where is it coming from?
So many questions;
None to answer...
Some say it's End time.
What should be done;
Sit and expect more?
Ravages of Flood in Nigeria.
