Rain

Rain My cornerstone is in the rain and the rain is going to come down to my house and the rain is going to be cold and The cold rain is going to be late And the late rain is going to be a long time coming And the long time coming rain will be all the worry And all the worry will be all the same And all the same will be all the worry For there will be no change And with no change there will be stagnation And with stagnation there will be no progress And with no progress There will be failure And with failure There will be disappointment And with disappointment comes defeat And with defeat comes destruction And with destruction come decline And with decline comes death And with death comes decay And with decay comes despair And with despair comes uncertainty And with uncertainty comes fear And with fear comes distress And with distress comes misery And with misery comes torture And with torture comes torment And with torment comes suffering And with suffering comes ache And with ache comes fragility And with fragility comes imbalance And with imbalance comes s disorder And with disorder comes misbehavior With misbehavior comes trouble With trouble comes concern And with concern comes flashlights and sirens And with flashlights and sirens come handcuffs And with sirens and handcuffs comes a jailhouse And with a jailhouse comes a jail cell And with a jail cell come mates And with mates comes jealousy And with jealousy comes gossip And with gossip comes violence And with violence comes death And with death comes heartache And with heartache comes grief And with grief comes mourning And with mourning comes night And with night comes darkness And with darkness comes sorrow And with sorrow comes dilemma And with dilemma comes him or me And between him and me comes God And with God comes light And with light comes a path And with a path comes a road And with a road comes a journey And with a journey comes discovery And with discovery comes enlightenment And with enlightenment comes power And with power comes greed And with greed comes inequality And with inequality comes corruption And with corruption comes fraud And with fraud comes crime And with crime comes injustice And with injustice comes inaccuracy And with inaccuracy comes the absence of God And with the absence of God comes falsehood For God is omniscient And omniscience is everywhere In the mind ,body and soul For God reigns even in the devil’s den For he created him And the snake he became Sinking the world into sin Marckincia Jean Free verse 11/22/19
