Struck Again

Struck Again


Struck Again
 Posted by clemency  green

It struck again, that hideous thunder
It made us scamper
Pell-mell, helter-sketter
Back we fell, to our old folks’ shelter


We looked up and saw the doom
All around disaster loomed
We’re left in despair
So much damage, who would repair


Our fates bargained by the priests
The gods, they sought to appease
Their sacrifices failing to ease
The wrath of the gods incurred
So, the thunder we endured


Our Patience running thin
While the Chief Priest’s got fatter
The gods demanding more
And the priests less to offer
In this elephant fight
We’re the grass that suffer


It strikes again
This hideous thunder
Pell-mell we scamper
Helter-sketer we seek for shelter
