The Rain Poem by Tefo Mahlotle Mello

Here I am
Bleating for the rain to rain
I couldn't just stand there
While animals suffer
There was none left in the river
Nor was there anything on the ground either
I couldn't bear to see them dying
I couldn't bear to see us suffering either
So I bow down to the Lord
I couldn't ask for none except for the rain
The rain that will end up all our worries
The rain that will purify us and the animals
The rain that will beautify our land
The rain that will fill up the river with clean water
The rain that will wash away our sins
The rain
