What is the irony in rain came by ogot?

In Ogot’s poem, “The Rain Came, the irony is in the contrast between the anticipation and excitement surrounding the start of the rains, and the actual consequences that arise from them. When the rains delay, the community eagerly waits for them, picturing the positive effects they will bring such as green vegetation and plenty of food.

The irony lies in the unexpected negative aspects that accompany the highly anticipated and life-giving rains
