THE SKY & I CRY
The sky keeps crying.
Dry inside, I keep crying
So nonstop, Iām also drying
With the salt of my tears
First, before dying of thirst
From drinking ocean water.
Iām Fireās daughter, and Father
Wasnāt pleased to see me spurned,
Twisted, overturned, and diseased,
Pleading with Drought to come out.
But Drought isnāt a spout, or so
It shouts each time I let rain out.
How long was my hurricane season,
And whatās the source of its reason?
I canāt say WHY, all I can say is its
Tenure is sure and has endured for
Three years; the LAST ones without
A shred of sun. How was it done?
It wasnāt even partially fun!
I experienced a dearth of worth, so
Doom and gloom took over the earth
To be my roomies. I became SO gloomy,
I leaked until I achieved a record rate
Of rainfall, a fact I canāt mitigate.
Iām now sorry to prognosticate rain is
Pain and its stains are my downfall.
When I cry out a downpour,
I breathe in the grim and poor
And pour down even more.
I close a door to stay indoors, only
To start a flood of nothing good
Coming any way anymore.
Iām also vain, so I have to complain
About my swollen and salty face:
I need libations of hydration to erase
The throbs of pain pelting my brain.
These are my āMonsoon Rains,ā
And if they donāt abate soon, best
Make more room on Noahās Ark, cause
No one but Noah knows that Iām a
Scaredy Cat who hides in the dark.
