The Clouds Are Crying

The clouds are crying 
For the sun
For the earth
For clean air
Trees are drenched
Sopping wet and soaking up
Water and nutrients
Pollution
It seeps deep down
In the ground
To the roots, the bark, the leaves
The mechanism creating what we breath
It’s spit back out
Into the atmosphere
Into our minds
It unwinds
Telling us not to fear
Nothing is wrong
Close your eyes
Sleep, my dear
Tomorrow the sun will shine
Cast shadows
Over the lies
That you are told
You are sold
So you will never know
Why the clouds are crying
