Crying In the Rain

Crying in the Rain Lurking behind the curtain of world war ; You cheer to a Monday Night Raw; Dancing to the melody of anarchy; You close your senses to impending waterloo, Completely deaf to the screams of mother earth Who is subdued by industrial rape; she echoes dearth... Forlorn sky weeps on; threatening oxygen depletion at the detriment of ocean life. Father sun rages on; amidst earth's strife... Refugee camps replace loving homes; And mats replace comforting foams Chibok continues to wail for her missing daughters; As valiant khakis rummage the forest of Sambisa... The mantra of change echoes on amidst chains: As a fraction of the world cry in the rain... Flora and fauna looks on in docility, As humanity continue to dance to the melodies of calamity.
