The rain must fall
relentlessly
whether needed or not;
the sky weeping
all through the night
and all through the day.
The dark burdens
carried by the clouds
falling like teardrops
onto the bosom
of the earth.
Greedy minds
never satisfied,
always plundering
the vulnerable earth;
and as the years pass by
our beautiful earth
changes, no longer
the mother we knew;
watching and weeping,
sighing helplessly
at the changes
happening everywhere.
The changes
brought about
by the follies
of mankind...
