Foiled
It shone
Finally, the rain had fallen
An end to the dust monologue
And then
Like foil unwrapped
Unmasked
Naked
It lay infront of me
Helpless
Hopeless
They wailed again
Their bellies screaming
The voices gone
The scars of their tears blinked
Only for a second
The river began to flow again
I wondered
Why the weather changed it's colors so fast!
