All I can hear is the constant pounding of rain
The wind also follows suit
It just won't stop!
I hope for it to cease
I can't stomach it anymore
I must go to sleep

My sleep disturbed by the incessant whistling of the wind
There seem to be no hope of it winding-up
And the rain, ooh rain
Why won't you go away
The ground saturated and soaking wet
It just can't stomach it any more
The rivers have bust their banks
Houses flooded!
Where do they expect me to go?

They're here but their minds elsewhere
Why leave us with this pain and agony
What did my home have to do with it
My home lie in ruin from the constant interference
Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya all lay in ruin
Why should the innocent suffer

Perhaps it Karma, the spirits are getting even with us
But, should the people suffer from the poor judgement by the state
Shouldn't we be sorting our mess out and meddle in other people's affair

I just hope this dark cloud and rain will go away and with it will come a brighter future.
Freedom, equality justice
In solidarity with displaced people world over. Injustice anywhere is threat to injustice everywhere

The clock ticks, we are rocking
Time is ticking away
No more talking
Just listen, listen keenly
You'll find you're alive and awake

Awakened to new possibilities
Don't allow the old drag you backwards
Time is rolling away and with it there are bruises to be had
Thankfully those bruises represent the struggles along the way

Keep rocking don't stand still.
There's no room to be idle
Your hopes aspiration and dreams need you to be focuses
Keep the eye on the goal
Don't be distracted by yesterday's hurts
Look ahead the world is forgiving for those with the heart to confront it.

No more hurts,
Just a heart that is strengthened
Ready for tidings new
Illuminating, hopes

— The End —
