Far More Worse Things In Life To Fear Than Thunderstorms and Lightning
As nightly rituals go
Mine is whattapping my old
sister good night in South Africa
And tonight she said a storm is
a brewing
And the only thing that South Africa
does better than extreme corruption
is electric thunderstorms
So much so when she was a child
she used to creep into my parents
bedroom
So my Dad could cradle
her while keeping her safe and watching it beside her
And in so doing turned the fear
of thunder and lighting into a
form of creature comfort and
the happiest of memory
