The Picnic

The Picnic

We had our family picnic last day
In the wellness of our backyard gardens
With my husband and children their we lay
We ate happily then something happened
Like a nimbus that stormed our nipa hut
Armed they were and burnt our home to ashes
We tried to escape and crawl along but
We were caught and undertook the lashes
Our gathering that day was well and fine
Headless he was my husband on the ground
My children's eyes were gleaming with sunshine
The splashing of the well meant that they've drowned
Dreaming i was when i saw them with glee
As i watched my body hanged in a tree
