Rainy Days

For God's sake Leave them Let them live Let them laugh It is icy outside They are homeless They have flu... cold and cough They've never tasted warmth They're poor and marginalized Please, go away Let them walk Let them play They've never tasted joy They've never had a toy Please, be gentle Hide your thunder It scares them Hide your lightning It awakens them Their day was tough And they hardly fell asleep let them dream of the fireplace Let them enjoy this precious grace They'll wake up when you leave ~ Blackmatta ~
