A Rain-Drought

There is light but darkness It is cold but hot Send down the rain Because, it is wet but dusty. It is sunrise but sunsets It is winter but summer Send down the rain Because, it is damp but dry. Clouds overshadow the sun Darkness overwhelms the moon Send down the rain Because, it is low tide. There is lamentation People are wailing and weeping Send down the rain Because, no stone on another. They sob but who condole Men yell but who console Send down the rain Because, it is time to re-erect.
