These playful boys Ducking in and out from the sea of umbrellas Occasionally poke their heads out to be splashed by my rains A waterfall of another substance, with no intention nor motive But simply given to bathe all in purety and joy Free from payment and contract My water drizzles from pores as if never ending And my cloud, held up by these feeling boys Who, upon looking upon my cloud Create invisible pillars, sturdy and unbreakable, keeping it from falling from sky These links pass their happiness to the outline to the grey mists embodied Often misleading simple eyes to presume unwanted storms and floods And hopefully more may look up, to find their silver lining But as I look down to see my waters humble achievements I am blinded by the swarm of blockades erected Falsely they fear the waters as they fear other things natural and of form Suspicion instilled by mergers already signed causes distrust For they're accustomed to a price, and deals being made Blindly they cannot see this freedom was rightfully theirs to begin with The truth disguised in every drop of rain is eternal, without expiry nor catch Unlike those temporary pleasures offered by fog and shadow But so many droplets go straight to the ground, dead and unrealized Trampled on as the crowd continues living in shade Each hit, bruises me and my cloud, darkening the already looming grey Unintentionally the growing cloud provokes more deterrence from storms broadcasted maliciously But still, I release my waters, looking down to those boys who care not for light in darkness

The Boys who Play in the Rain
These playful boys Ducking in and out from the sea of umbrellas Occasionally poke their heads out to be splashed by my rains A waterfall of another substance, with no intention nor motive But simply given to bathe all in purety and joy Free from payment and contract My water drizzles from pores as if never ending And my cloud, held up by these feeling boys Who, upon looking upon my cloud Create invisible pillars, sturdy and unbreakable, keeping it from falling from sky These links pass their happiness to the outline to the grey mists embodied Often misleading simple eyes to presume unwanted storms and floods And hopefully more may look up, to find their silver lining But as I look down to see my waters humble achievements I am blinded by the swarm of blockades erected Falsely they fear the waters as they fear other things natural and of form Suspicion instilled by mergers already signed causes distrust For they're accustomed to a price, and deals being made Blindly they cannot see this freedom was rightfully theirs to begin with The truth disguised in every drop of rain is eternal, without expiry nor catch Unlike those temporary pleasures offered by fog and shadow But so many droplets go straight to the ground, dead and unrealized Trampled on as the crowd continues living in shade Each hit, bruises me and my cloud, darkening the already looming grey Unintentionally the growing cloud provokes more deterrence from storms broadcasted maliciously But still, I release my waters, looking down to those boys who care not for light in darkness
