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 ?

I can almost feel all that heat. A great job of painting the picture. Seems you have been up all night so instead of saying goodmorning I will say goodnight. Huggs TLee

A great write, Elliot! I was caught up in each line, contemplating the meaning. Then, I get to the last line and laugh out loud. I needed that. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Rhonda
