It Rains
No matter what I do
Or how many times
I want to see the sun
The rain does what it will
And comes when it will
And of course
Leave when it will
Somewhere there is a force
Greater than myself
That makes decisions
I have no control over
Let us take for instance
Yesterday…
I wanted to go out
And lie in the warmth
Of a warm summer’s sun
By the elephants, tigers and ravens
But it rained
And stopping them from eating
Each other is a full time job
On the other hand… today
I sit by my window
Like I did yesterday
And watch the damn rain
Knowing that sooner or later
It has to stop
It has to… doesn’t it?
