The poem is about colonialism, how people live in peace and how it comes as expected but unexpected. The poem describes a typical African thunderstorm in all its intensity. In African society, rain is a blessing; Everyone loves the approach of rain, not just children. It is useful for crops and animals because it increases yield. However, reading this poem does not give the impression that the author is happy; he focuses on telling us the damage caused by rain and wind.
