Page 5 Rg

The town folk were in shock                       Page 5
As they saw blood run like water
As the mob set out to kill
All their sons, wife's and daughters

The men of the town 
Drew their guns and started shooting
All the murderess men
And the others that were looting

Like shooting fish in a barrel
The mob became depleted
But there were so many 
They could not be defeated 

By the end of the day
Not one soul was left standing
As the buzzard circled round
And the Sun remained demanding

As their blood ran like a river 
Down the streets onto the plains
Then,  and only then
Did the sky,  begin to rain

The End   almost !

I like how you did that last verse, "only then did the sky begin to rain" Great final line in this part.
