the losses in the floods

Once the floods are over

The houseowners will clean up the mess

Counting the losses in assets

The write off on the floods

Some will dry the photographs

Of the memories they hold dear in their hearts

These old pictures will remind them of the past

Of a time once they were alive

Some will live with a stigma

Afraid of the rain causing floods

Some may have nightmares

Thinking of the hungry water rising

Some will blame the government

For causing the floods in their homes

It was a storm and climatic changes

The blame game will begin
