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 ...!

A true grim look at humanity Alkas. Tom Waits sang, "There's nothing kind about mankind."
