Mixed Thoughts and Feelings

Idai

It was a great day before you visited us
We shared jokes as a family and laughed to them so loud that we cried with tears of joy.
I didn't know I'd wake up into you Idai

At the next-door i heard them too laughing and dancing to old school music.
I think their uncle was back from overseas.
They were celebrating his arrival after a long time away from his family.

Where their homestead was is now a mountain.
You killed them all Idai.
There's never a sign of any of them now but your footsteps all over.

I woke up without my mother
Woke up next to my brothers corpse
On the other side was my father's leg, i could tell by his shoe.
An orphan i am.
Crippled, i cannot feel my legs

Idai you turned our village into a grave yard.
Innocent souls died.
I heard an adolescent crying for its mama and went quite soon after i saw a wave of you resting exactly where it was
You couldn't have mercy on it.
Idai, Idai cyclone Idai why
