Iji Nla - Whirlwind

Now it has become hazy 
Cutting off the light
Just to merge with the darkness 
Slicing off today 
Just to end off tomorrow 
It bellowed ferociously 
Dancing eerily 
As it swoops on fate
Manifesting without a date 
Wandering with a sure purpose 
Stirring away all calm unopposed 
Stalking all our inward deeds 
sweeping out everyone dreams 
Laying waste to vast vanities 
Encircling this wanton emptiness 
Mounting piles of sorrows 
Trading tales of pains and horrors
amidst this madden rush 
Heralding this troubling tussle
