STOP THE RAINS
A Poem
by Austin Mitchell
Will the rains ever stop?
It has been mashing up our crops
It wants to destroy everything
Leaving us with nothing
We prayed for rain
Now it is proving to be a drain
Our only bridge has been washed away
Our animals and crops have been washed away
Nobody seems willing to help us
We have just lost our bus
It has been washed away
We want to get away
Away from this place
But with no bus
Who will help us?
To leave this place
Children have to stay home
Parents have to stay home
Farmers can’t go to their fields
To get their yields
We prayed for rain
But it’s proving to be a drain
Now we want it to stop
But will it ever stop
