Let It Rain

Our farms are sick and starved and outgrown barns, The earth is witted, breaking our spades Tomorrow is stranded because today is wicked Barking on our tears These brothers of mine are strangers They rage the sun in this part of the divide And walk in canopies we cannot provide Come to the streets oh comrades Your stomachs may be asking and your legs jittering Still come Come to the entering of the city Cry to the heavens carrying fronds Fan the firmaments and beg the clouds to let it rain Let it rain, let it rain in the heat of the day till Darkness is stopped from coming, taking terror unaware And then the wolves slip and fall on their daggers Let greedy mansion leak, and seek shelter in the hut of the pauper Let it rain, so hardened hearts get soaked and thieves shiver Till they are caught red-handed Let it rain, let its coldness prevail and cool the boiling land, Let’s its wind sweep through exposing the anus of the fowl kind, Quenching greedy thirsts and succoring innocent dreams Let it rain on the x and y If they look back and see where the knot is tied, so not for Crescent moon another man’s star die let it rain and beat hard, and crash the shell of dubious tortoise let it beat conflicts into comfort, till greed dies of loneliness let it beat tomorrow into today, and led into leaders.
