It washed us
away,
We have to sail
away,
Those who could
not run away,
Have drown and
gone away.
We saw the river
away,
The ocean was
far off,
We saw them to
our advantage,
Not knowing that
they can fight use.
Our farmland
washed away,
Our family
dispersed,
Our livestock
missing,
We have to build
afresh.
We were not
packed somewhere,
Now as refugees
somewhere,
Waiting for our
homes to be free,
For us to
inhabit once more.
We now see that
we have no control,
Over nature,
Nature could
relax,
One day of fight
last a lifetime.
