Raping of That Virgin Drop of Rain

So pristine each drop wrapped tenderly
by clouds as air into water processed.
Why a diamond shaped of natures play
or of gravity earth awaits, greedily
life yearned for its fall from grace.

Longing for its purity Man restless,
salivating for the angelic virgin to descend.
Unspoiled, unsoiled, sweetness itself only 
God can create, a gift free not for man alone
but every living thing with desires to quench.

Alas! the greed in you and I, it was a gift...free.
Reached we have, into the space of angels,
we bastardised the very food of our souls
for can our thirst be quenched by oil or gold?
Answer ye to God when our time is done.

A virgin so pure God sent for our pains to endure.
Slashed, burnt smoke of 'acid' we returned.
Legacy left we are sure, but the poser imminent
when facing our Procurer; were we party to the 
deflowering, the raping of that virgin drop of rain?

John Pen Date: 4/22/2014 3:17:00 AM Is it really "development" when the environment is wasted in the process? Maybe not.
