The cloud is darkened
The heaven’s lightning is sparked
She is angry and her voice growls, grunting like a beast
Ready to devour the earth
With the cloud changing like Chameleon
The wind lashes her terror on us while we play
And our eyes are filled with dust
The cloud swims to the east
Waiting for a time to revenge
Ten toes running to her hiding place
No pillars hold the heaven to the earth but she unleashes like a string to the earth
With mouth wide open
The earth sucks the breast that feeds her
Yet she is still hungry
The water overflows our gutters and drainages causing our properties to float
And our backs are bended to work
With a bowl, we erase the terror past
Oh! Heaven, have your anger subsided?
Gentle as a dove as if no havoc occurred
The wind that blew the dust
That lashed my eyes is gone to bed
Ten toes come out of their hiding place
To face the day’s work
