Poetic Verses
The Big Wave
It was a very bright morning in the village
The people were running around enjoying the privilege
Of basking in and enjoying the golden rays of the sun
Everyone gathered by the playground to have a bit of fun
But something strange was happening in the animal kingdom
They were running around in a very strange and abnormal pattern
It seems as though they were running around more like a stampede
This strange phenomenon was a something the people could not read.
This old man a sort of recluse so tattered and so shabby
He painted a picture to all that was not complementary
Coming into the village and his loud voice sounding a warning
Telling them something is up and vacate before morning.
When he spoke they laughed, and he they threatened to beat
Why is this smelly old man stinking up our beautiful street
Why does he think something is going to happen because a few animals are running
The updated technologies have not indicated any sort of warning.
This happened before when I was little boy it was great pain
I thought I would have never seen it in my lifetime again
My grandfather too then brought the news and he too was disparaged
And like me, he too was laughed at and was harassed
Let me tell you all now get yourself immediately to higher ground
Otherwise for you the consequences would be quite profound
I have already packed and will be moving to the mountain
Kindly follow me and get there before morning.
Follow you they said we are all glad to be rid of you old man
Your presence brought great problems to this land
Always tattered so distant and looking so unkempt
That is why here from everything you were exempt
He made his way quickly and quietly out of town
There were shouts of "Go old fool and good riddance!" all around
He looked around at them and tearfully whispered goodbye
They were not convinced no matter how and yes he did try
Halfway up the mountain he decided to take a look back
My how that beautiful day has darkened and it was a fact
He cast his eyes to the seas and how his old heart began to race
A high wave was coming across the water at such a rapid pace
Somehow he may have thought he heard their frantic cries
Glory be the water seems to be reaching as high as the skies
All that was audible was the uncontrollable cries of help over the merciless water
Then there was silence so deafening like no other.
