AND DISASTER STRUCK

First published on wordsrhymesandrhythm.wordpress.com on March 10, 2014

Written by: Omoya Yinka Simult

Study we must tonight

For an exam looms on the morrow

Forget about using the electric light

Because currents in the nation seldom flow

So, we buy a white candle

In the room, the candle we kindle

How well! We may now read

Isn’t illumination all we need?

We study and ignore our shame

And suddenly come fire and flame

In raging inferno our valuables are stuck

Oh,no! Disaster has struck

In our presence our belongings burn

And to ashes they all turn

Dejected, we wallow and weep and wail

Until we become weak and frail

The people go philosophical as they reckon

They say afflictions won’t rise again

That a burnt palace will soon beckon

Yet they give no dime to relieve our pain

I am @omoyayinka on Twitter

Get a copy of my e-book, Naija Campus Tales. It is an interesting collection of stories on campus life as narrated by a Nigerian medical student.
