Mengapa?

 Hari ini ia menyapa. 

Lama sungguh tidak berjumpa. 

Bila ditanya kemana rimba  kau  berjimba. 

Katanya ,”Biarlah rahsia…. “.

Selamat pulang Sang Suria. Kepulanganmu  amat dinantikan.

Tapi langit sudah kembali kelam…

Mengapa?

Katanya, “Izinkan aku berehat seketika. 

Nanti aku akan kembali jua buat sepenuh masa….”

Segeralah kau kembali….

Hadirmu amat diperlukan…

Whose fault?


I decided to have a short vacation.

It has been a long time since I last had one. 

I needed a short break. 

I put Rain in charge. 

He promised to be good.

But it seems he did not..

It upsets me of his doings. 

He hurts people and animals. 

Washed away everything that blocked his ways. 

I saw bodies and debris 

I heard cries 

I saw rage

I heard shouts here and there..

They were so upset, stressed, sad 

Lost their belongings

Lost their  loved ones

Some even lost their mind

But……Rain denied!

He said….

Water flows freely ….everywhere

Small or big hollows, drains and into the rivers….and to the sea 

So strong that I can move almost anything effortlessly…

But

There were buildings everywhere

Where can I go?

Humans changed the earth surface.

What used to be a clearance 

What used to be a passage….

Were no more there

Humans dumped rubbish everywhere…

Suffocated the river

They narrowed the river banks

They cut trees as they wished

The ground became soggy and gave way.

Water flows fast, nothing to slow it down..

I have to carry the logs, the rubbish and earth…..

The same goes for everything ….

What can I do?

Is it my fault?

NO!!

It is their fault!

They caused the flood

Well……

Now you are back…

Just do your job.

Time to dry the earth

We both have our own path

We both have our own jobs and missions

I have done mine

Allah has stated everything

The humans are at fault

They have brains…

But they refused the gift

They did the unthinkable

It was their own doings…

Not yours and not mine

It’s them…

Let this be a lesson to them
