It is raining
It comes down to bequeath
and celebrate life.

But it's not natural
I say it is not!
July has been
dry as a bone
last July rain was 1993

It's those planes.
they leave trails that expand.
when their clouds arrive
they hang low and web like
grey and full of chemicals
they seep not condensation
but chemical residue
more like a cataract
Is this OK?

the rain produced,
gangster's *****,
barely quenches
the earth's thirst
we need rain
we need the moisture
we need rain.

Do you mean the ones who live on the other side?
Clear across the ocean, two miles in from the tide?

The ones that live with little means or the ones that live like we were meant to?
That work, play, stress, fear, and cry, just like we do?

The men who were created from the earth and the women from Adam's rib?
The ones who fall asleep staring at the same galaxies wondering if we're all there is?

Do you mean the ones in straw houses near dirt roads?
That learn how to survive on the land and wear the clothes that they sew?

Others and me,
I'm sorry, pardon me... I'm just slightly confused
Because when I think of them, I think of me
I can't separate the two.

What if you could read another person's thoughts
What if you could hear their mind
If you could see what they think...
You may be better off blind

I want to leave this place,
find somewhere else in which to live.
For I've given here all I have to give.
Find a place I belong,
In a new and happy song.
I could sing about the night,
How the moon in full glory shines so bright.
I would sing about the rain,
How it washed away my tears of pain
and led me to the other side where skies are blue.
That's all i can do...
to not let this world ruin me.
The words came I let them be...if they make no sense to you please forgive me.

When I die
I hope
you are near
so
I can take you with me
I doubt i'm heaven bound.

I want you to break my heart.
Whisper softly into my ear,
There is no us.

There will never be an us.
