The Cyclone
The cyclone came in from the coast,
It was supposed to be a spent force by the time it reached us in the hills.
The rain lashed down for three days.
A mud slide engulfed a school but it was a Sunday and no one was there.
At Valley View a village collapsed down the hill side leaving one solitary house intact.
A priest said that those people should get down on their knees
And thank God that they were still alive.
I said and after that should they curse God for killing their friends and neighbours.
