Nature's Fury

Thunder roars from the distant fields
Lightning strikes illuminate the gloomy view
Farmers thank the Gods, standing on muddy paths
Townsfolk curse, captives in their own cars

Rain pours down onto the parched earth
Withered crops welcome the rain, ah, rebirth
The fishes frolick as the river quickly fills
Animals lower their heads and drink their fill

Ten days on and the rain still falls
Oh, how long more will it continue to pour
Plants and animals equally are all drowned
People around all wear a frown

The crow caws as the thunder no longer roars
The rain itself, no long pours
Through the clouds, rays of sunlight peer
Upon the earth where Nature's wrath has caused great fear

Sun shines upon the flooded fields
Fields where stalks of rice once grew
Farmers grief and curse their luck
Townsfolk hurry along, eager to make that extra buck
