The Rainy Season

In the rainy season
The water came gushing furiously
Thunder and lightning jesting each other
The young ones screamed
The unmanly ones squirmed

Those that live with guilt
Fear is like the raindrop beating on the roof
Unapologetically, with no respite
Nor respect
Lock all your doors
Check all your windows
Still the paranoia
Like an invisible hand on your shoulder
the touch piercing through the soul

Remember all the promises you break?
People you have betrayed?
The sleep that wouldn't come?
Despite your lavish condo and your chiropractic mattress

Deep inside you know
Tho' you wouldn't admit
Karma will catch up on you
And serve you a cold cold dish of penance

At your posh farewell banquet
Where rain just won't let go
But people still come
And you would boast of the numbers
But they come just to eat
Just for the food
Not to wish you well
Good words were spoken
Malice thought cursing you mutedly

You smile and you laughed
Your trophy wife asking smittenly are we really going back?
Yes, you are - you mongrel
The rain is singing your farewell song
Can't you hear?

We wish you all the less
As you are but a speck of dirt
That the rainy season
So vehemently came to wash away
