The days go by,
rains brought by cyclones
result in inundation.
Towns float
trees fall disrupting
electricity and traffic.
People living in low areas
are evacuated hoarded
in make shift shelters,
Boats ply up and down
rescuing those stuck up,
the administration works
day and night, volunteers
do yeoman service, it
happens every year,
emanates a big hue
a cry, huge fuss
follows ,governance pays.
for its negligence,
allowing skyscrapers on
lakes and ponds,
making the water clog,
drains overflow,
causing a disaster,
those in the helm, ministers,
officials, mayors, come
with assistance braving downpour
all for votes, a manipulation
to win another election
and fill their coffers.
