THE ANGRY WIND

Osemwenoyenmwen Ogbemudia


And the wind whistled

Beating violently all that stood in his way

He pushed the walls

The roofing he also lifted

Pruned with bare hands the trees

 

Seeing his fierce anger

All scurried out of his way

Into the rooms did even the rains run

In the bid to hide

Under the beds did they hide

And the mat at the door

 

 

His anger not yet abated

He pulled down gates

And swept the streets

Gathering the refuse at the street end.
