Cyclone Idai
What a bitter pill to swallow
Holding our head with both hands
Starring at the heavens in pain
Crying, crying and crying,
Is it our faulty
Is because of carefree attitudes
Is it because of incompetence?
Is it because of their recksness?
Is it because of me?
Is because of him?
Is it because of us?
Multitudes destroyed,
In the most horrific peaceful, ways possible
So many questions than answers
Mindbogglingly touching
Deeply hurt and crushed in spirit
Was Disaster preparedness the best solution?
But who did it?
I ask who did it?
Lets not bark up the wrong tree
Who burnt Chimanimani’s candle at both ends
Who put Manicaland and Mozambiques' life?
Between the devil and the deep see,
Who did it?
When I play back the horrific motion pictures
I can see mass graves,
Elephantine mountains of debris
As God whispers to people in our pleasures,
Speaks in our consciousness
And shouts in our pains
In a loud way,
That made us understand why cyclones
Named after people
