The rain will never go away


Click channel change: CNN " breaking news a black man was shot today by police officer while surrendering!" click channel change: Weather Channel "Today were looking 100% rain! Yup were gonna have 6 feet of it!" Click TV off: a Black screen Drip, drop, drip, drop... The rain never stops This was not the only victim "They're bring drugs, they're rapist!" Rain, rain, go away... "The officer had this to say, ' I don't know why I shout'" Rain,rain, go away... The tears of heaven never stops falling, For every lost human, there is a rain drop that is driven by gravity. How long must they suffer! Cold to the touch, just as cold as our bodies... When will the rain stop, today, tomorrow, next week?... Or... Never... Our world is nothing but a heartbroken pot, soon it will leave behind a red sauce left frozen... in wait to come back alive...
