Thunder

The sky suddenly lit up in the dark
The sky bellowed out a thunderous roar
Don't go yonder, there is lightening n thunder;
screamt the farmer from far beyond
Dont go out to play, there is lightening n thunder;
Hushed the mother of toddlers three
Shut the doors and windows, lest disaster it will bring; this thunder
Dont drive your cars, dont walk the streets;
Close down the schools, close down the shops
There is lightening n thunder, destroy all it will....
But Lo Human Beings with emotions!!
Just pause and think.....
Maybe the clear blue sky is crying out,
Maybe the clear blue sky is howling out
in grief that swells its chest
Thunder is nothing but it's emotional let out..
If you and I can grieve; then why not let it too!!
