Rainy Sunday Poem by Arabambi Obaloluwa

Oh what a day!
Filled with tears
A day with
Tears from heaven
The ground soak
Till stupor
Divine tears it's called
Though it flows
To ease earth's pain
Its (ground) heart
Cannot persist
Not a being can walk it
For sympathy sake
Go away!
I say to you
O tear
Stop to flow
For the eyes
Is to behold
And worship
Not for sympathy
Leave the earth
To a proper sense
Performing it cause
Not to act
To the power of will
But that of Deus
Please I say
Dear tear
Go away
For your flow
Makes the birds
To sit back
At nests
Weary and weak
Instead to pick beans
Off the earth
Go away
O tear
I plead thee go
For today isn't the day.
