The Rains Will Come
In the region of famine
As the tree's lie bare
Cloudless skies
Look down and stare
Barren lands
Arid and starched
Plants and wildlife
Forever parched
Come the day for the rains
To grace the earth again
For the droplets of life
Will end their strife
Arid to green
Dormant alive
This remarkable fluid
Falls like tears from our eyes
Reading Raul's Region of Famine prompted this poem
