Warriors

The clouds send warriors

to bring shame on our land.

The warriors plummet

into our oceans,

our soil,

our souls.

The warriors

slip

down our bodies,

drenching us in hate.

Telling us that everything we are,

everything we have been,

and everything we ever will be

relies solely on them.

They wait in the background

on cold, lonely nights.

Stop!

Shhh..

Listen.

Do you hear them?

Do you hear them whispering?

They're here.

So do you stop and listen?

Or do you scream back?

DO YOU STOP AND LISTEN?

OR DO YOU SCREAM BACK?

They coat our earth.

They slowly blanket our minds.

So what will you do

as they drop

and drop

and drop..?

What will you do

when the clouds send warriors?
