Lost souls in the desert
In parched lands so dry
Raise hands in delight
As heavens open wide
Rain comes crashing down
Pouring from a heavy sky
Drenching the world
In echoing mournful cries
Of ocean's lament:
You pollute me
But why?
Do I not
Please your eyes?
Do I not also
Nurture
Provide?
I teem with life
Of infinite worth
I team with the wind
Sustain the earth
Yet you trash me
Without second thought
With countless byproducts
Of industrial rot
You don't relish my beauty
You don't savor my taste
You don't bask in my fragrance
No, you send me your waste
And still I give
As long as you live
I'll love you the same
I'll carry your boats
I'll feed you my fish
I'll send you the rain
So when the skies darken
Precipitation pours forth
Let it remind
Of how much you use me
Oh, please don't abuse me
No, please be kind
And treasure my worth

The rain today
brings the ocean
and life
and musings
and guilt
and call to action
