Dear sister, you have no idea <br />About the weather here <br />The earth is dry <br />We haven't seen any rain <br />For the past few years <br />And hunger is striking. <br /> <br />Looking out through the window <br />Father is trying to forecast the weather <br />And he has been saying something <br />But no one heard what the exact words are <br />For he's talking to no one, but himself. <br />Oh! how terrible things are here <br />The weather is bad, so bad that <br />I am beginning to believe what father has said. <br /> <br />'This is not weather, but a curse laid upon us.' <br />23/03/2004<br /><br />Arsiema Berhane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/something-about-the-weather/
