In the End Before

Yesterday it rained I went out without an umbrella Because I didn't check the weather And you know what happened Shock horror I got wet What on earth did I expect I've no one else but myself to blame Unless I somehow thought since it had rained last A new type of dry rain had been invented overnight whilst I was soundly asleep and dreaming fast But in reality surely when you awaken in the morning and open your eyes You should be wide awake and stop dreaming and leave them in the past And so too then take an umbrella out with you when there is the slightest possibility it may well be raining Unless you choose or wish to get wet or believe The rules and laws of nature can be somehow be undone or changed simply overnight And you don't then expect to be met either With the possibility of God to have revealed whoever they may be as well And whether or not you have done that what he required as the basics necessary In order to fall under his umbrella Or are left out in the cold and rain to suffer Much like you yourself did to so many others With no one else but yourself to blame Left at that point thinking and eventually realizing upon reflection What on earth did I expect In the end we all get what is coming to us And we receive our just desserts for what we have put in
