Droplet's Sacrifice

The mission was simple;
To save the whole planet
From white clouds
Lies the troopers

The wind howled
As they fell down
A headfirst dive
At the speed of sound

Death is a friend of the Earth
They thought, as they fell across the sky
I am the savior of the Earth
But I know not how or why

Today they made a sacrifice
That little drop of rain
But it went over our heads
Life seems still and same

Thud
They disintegrate into the hungry plants
They watch their friends get absorbed
This perilous journey they undertook
For the good of our world
