Before It Rains
Surely, it will rain
The rigged erosion site
Will yield up the graves
With the mangled duffers
We must see
I cannot stop the rain
The cast is already overused
The thunder lines have marked
Out themselves in the sky
Bidding for time
Oh! it will surely rain
It will rain the hard beetles
Resplendent at the castle
Their strange tangles with
Cruelty and promise
Will evaporate
About our virgins
They lost their seals
They walked provokingly
In short pants and bustiers.
Rods of derision pierced
And so they should walk
As they like.
Before it rains, My Dear
Goats will lose their shame
But they must never be allowed
To scud to the rock, and
Ridicule quest for an account.
After the rains, My Dear
The survivors will be happy
The losers will be happy
The spectators will be happy
They would all have learnt
From the rains.
