Mr. Droplet was born from a fingertip Placed on a wall expecting him to slip Pulled down by his own weight What he wouldn’t give to instead be on a plate Every inch, a step towards non-existence Giving it all he has, to offer resistance Never once running out of breath Doing all he can to avoid his death But in the end, it was too late Mr. Droplet fulfilled his fate What was the point of it all? His torturous journey down the wall He looked at the wall from beyond the veil, and saw that he had left behind a trail Maybe that was the point of his existence The result of all his hard work and persistence Yet, in the end, it matters not If he was kind or if he sinned All it takes to dry the trail away, is nothing but a gentle gush of wind

Mr. Droplet
Mr. Droplet was born from a fingertip Placed on a wall expecting him to slip Pulled down by his own weight What he wouldn’t give to instead be on a plate Every inch, a step towards non-existence Giving it all he has, to offer resistance Never once running out of breath Doing all he can to avoid his death But in the end, it was too late Mr. Droplet fulfilled his fate What was the point of it all? His torturous journey down the wall He looked at the wall from beyond the veil, and saw that he had left behind a trail Maybe that was the point of his existence The result of all his hard work and persistence Yet, in the end, it matters not If he was kind or if he sinned All it takes to dry the trail away, is nothing but a gentle gush of wind
