Blame Who

Who is there to blame for this pouring rain,
is it the sins of man that saddens my God?Or 
is it the cry of the dry dessert ,sent by its cactus antennas? 
A pointy prayer of the cactus, popping the watery sacs of the clouds?

Who is to blame for the blazing heat? is 
it the Eskimos trembling  prayer, sent up by the glacial winds?
Who is to blame for the famished ants ?
Is it the isolated people in there homes, 
never paying a visit to friendly grass, with picnic snacks?
Who is there to blame for death? Is it the grim-reaper
 or a story's mysterious end?
Who is to blame for natures loss of trees? 
oops lam sorry for the loss of trees ,I needed that
to write my poetry, but for the rest who is there to blame ?
