Cause & Effect


                                                              Arriving indifferently, 
                                                       We suffer;
                                                  Then not, Then so, 
                                                       Then not.
                                                              There are trees 
				       And things around you.
				Call them things around you. 
				       A roar at dawn, each day 
				Arrives in tears; 
Bringing a rain 
				That may cleanse your air.
				      There may be despair.
				      You make it different,
				By giving it a different name.
				And when the heart of the lion 
				    Beats another dawn, 
			              You will become the rain 
                                        That will cleanse another’s air.
