It rains heavily... Roofs leaking, water seeping Bless'd against my will... As the tropical storms rage Causing chaotic... Rattled windows, doors and gates All over the house... Creating theatrical effects As lightning flashes... And thunder follows behind Children play outside... Trivializing the weather A good one for sleep... Except for the leaking roofs New holes emerging... Brings to mind a nursery rhyme, ***"Rain, rain go away, Come again another day"*** Back then reasons were... "Little children want to play" I can't help but sigh! With the aftermath in view... Soaked beds, sheets and drapes... Smelly rugs for days to come Wrecked roofs and ceilings... Flooded streets mixed with sewage. Showers of blessings indeed! © Raphael Uzor

Unwanted Blessings! (Choka)
It rains heavily... Roofs leaking, water seeping Bless'd against my will... As the tropical storms rage Causing chaotic... Rattled windows, doors and gates All over the house... Creating theatrical effects As lightning flashes... And thunder follows behind Children play outside... Trivializing the weather A good one for sleep... Except for the leaking roofs New holes emerging... Brings to mind a nursery rhyme, ***"Rain, rain go away, Come again another day"*** Back then reasons were... "Little children want to play" I can't help but sigh! With the aftermath in view... Soaked beds, sheets and drapes... Smelly rugs for days to come Wrecked roofs and ceilings... Flooded streets mixed with sewage. Showers of blessings indeed! © Raphael Uzor
Inspired by the unbearable living conditions of the poor in the slums of Nigeria. My heart bleeds at the indifferent attitude of the government and the elite class.
