If We Were Rain

If we rained,
it would be different rain...
It would be rain
human, fickle,
therefore...
being rain neither
we would wet the lands
from others, or we would
fertilize other people's lands,
on the contrary we would rain
acid rain...
It would be hot rain
in the heat just to heat up
the passer by
and cold rain in winter
just to cool down yet
further...
If we were rain,
we would not form common rivers
 ... but ... floods ...
We would not form streams,
but ... black ditches ...
strangely if we were
rain we could even
be merry ... because it would rain,
signifies we would cry,
we would pour liquids,
tears ... and then maybe God
feeling our suffering,
would return us back to our
lost humanity while
rain... and maybe enjoy happiness
of being human people again ...!
