Dear Lord

The rains of impossible and 
unbearable are falling,
Dear lord, I need a shell to craw 
in.
Death, disease, suffering and 
unrighteousness dropping on 
people’s heads
Make me like a tortoise with a 
shell oh lord to brace my head.
The rains of impossible and 
unbearable are falling,
Dear lord, I need a shell to craw 
in.
                                                             
Alva kanyika.
