The Urban Cry

Rain !!! Rain !!!  Please don’t come here again 

The city is flooded and needs a clean drain
Vehicles break down and to pick there is no crane 

The fly-overs and crawl-unders have put us in pain 
The council is sleeping and our cries have gone in vain

I know a place where surely people will gain
It's our Country side from where we get our Grain

So Rain Rain!!!  please don’t come here again

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
