Freddy, the cyclone

Your coming was proclaimed Like a python bidding it's timing You delayed,giving us false hope thinking you had spared us

You cunning as you are took your time,gathering all your weapons of Destruction,even our bravest soldier can but look when you approach Like Goliath,they tremble in your sight

Are you a beast,a lion crawling At night to disturb peace in our cattle pens,no,at the sight of Such beasts,man beat drums Sounds trumpets,swords in Hands to circle and destroy it You friend are unconquerable

Maybe a fire you are,blazing the house your fury seeking to to perish everything but alas With ssprays of water and soil A hungry furnace can be silenced You are untamable Freddy,upon us have mercy in eternal fear we are caged Begging for your mercy,you Dominate us,Aids spare those Who abstain its seeds,covid 19 Alone left those who locked themselves in their doors

You ,what kind of a creature are You,which kind of universe threw you upon us,you have no shame,invading our homes Where can we hide,our fortresses And hideholes you bulldoze,deaf as You are,hearing no cries for mercy Do you ever retreat or retire

Be jubilant,Freddy,now and Rejoice,watch us weep and Be merry in Malawi you have conquered,the coffins you see Are not on display in a palour But carry thousands you have thwarted with your hungry sword

the rivers you have dug flow Along bodies and homes of our loved ones,our tears Move you not,let our tears Mingle with your waters and Blood of our perished brothers And sisters

Friends in Malawi,by the hand of the Almighty be strengthened the comfort you need is beyond our power to the world and fellow humans Malawi needs our shoulder ,to to weep on

When the trumpets of doom Are sounded,let us rise and flee the cyclones by the Great one Were not created,he vowed never to destroy by floods
