GUEST POST: Who Called The Meeting?

By Olakunmi Oluwabuyide

 


The rains are on sabbatical
The sun is on duty
Under this heat we perspire
Our strength easily expires
Out of our holes we groan
Our mouths filled with angst moans


Has hell been set loose?
Or are the heavens on fire?
'Where is Lazarus?' we ask
'Open the floodgates', we cry
Pressure mounts...


Suddenly...
Someone has called a meeting
The clouds gather in the west
The sun suspended
The conference doors are thrown open
The wind rushes in
Lightning strikes on
Thunder claps in excitement
Let the meeting begin


And a wet night gives birth to a cold morning
What a relief!
Who called for this meeting?, I ask myself
Thank God for the weather
Thank God whenever
