The first rain drop fell
On the hot summer sands
Twas followed by many other
To cool the barren lands.
This ground had not seen
Rains for so long
The pitter patter sounded
Like a long forgotten song
The earth greedily soaked up
Its nectar of life
Soon she was glowing
Like a newly wedded wife
People struck by draught
Ran out to embrace
This long forgotten dream
Smiling on their face
People sang and danced
People laughed and clapped
So melodious felt the thunder
As across the skies it slapped
It rained for a day
It rained for two
And it rained for days
Without a cue
Water swelled up
On every street
And flooded every
Lake and creek
Cattle began drowning
People began moaning
People began cursing
The clouds that didn’t stop pouring
Soon the dam was full
And burst open its walls
And the entire place was flooded
With no one to hear its calls
