20 Lives Saved Today

the lightning, at no risk to itself
bolted through the village sky

the metal makers yelled
"Why, Why, Why?"

Our tin-roofed houses
topped with tall spires
are sure to destruct
sure to catch fire

as people watched closely
for their certain demise
the sky opened wide
with a big surprise

The sun called out,
"Oh lightning, please leave!"
"Move towards me,
Share my light."

The thunder goaded the lightning
to put up a fight
and a slight hesitation
gave everyone a fright

but the sun's strong light
prevailed
the evil of the thunder
this time
failed


The Sun now leads
this village
living together
each day
in the light
