Psychedelic notes,
Strummed with creative wonder:
From a lonely soul.
·
Music for the world,
Crying guitar solos hum:
Raining energy.
·
While his audience,
Awaited the finale:
Burning his guitar.

Acid Rain
How quickly the soothing sound of raindrops
turned to bitter trickles dripping from the
black umbrella onto our hearts.

sudden rain today
sweltering smog disappears
stinking chemistry
You're toxic you
Burn like acid rain
You're toxic radiating
So much pain
Would it be wrong
do you think?
To put some arsenic
In your drink
To go and get
Some rope if ya will
And practice my
My knotting skills
To go out and buy
A shiney forty-five
Be in your face
And put if between your eyes
Your toxic you
Burn like acid rain
Your toxic radiating
So much pain
Your toxic you
Burn like acid rain
Your so f--king toxic
You make me insane
My dark deeds
Of shame and filth,
My coward confessions
of cupidity and sin,
My redblooded eyes
Murders of innosense,
Yahweh! to you I cry,
Wash away my stains
Pour some acid rain.
Once a upon a time, I stood next to you
Hand in hand, secure and safe
On firm ground, so tall, so beautiful
in the glowing light of the sun
Like living in a fairy tale
But fairy tales are just that…tales
And the magic began to fade
Your words were once rays of light
Now began to pollute the air around me
I try to speak up and put up a fight
To use my strength and courage
You were like smog settling over a city
Nothing could keep you at bay
Trying every way possible
To clean up the damage done
But it was all in vain
The sun disappeared behind the blackness
As the clouds rolled in
No longer feeling safe
No longer feeling secure
I put on a rain coat
Hoping the rays of light
The goodness that was left
Would defeat the storm on the horizon
But the first drop fell
And then the flood gates open
I open my umbrella
Huddled underneath
Fear of the unknown
Building deep within me
Your toxic words now like acid rain
Begin to eat holes in my umbrella
Leaving me exposed
As drops start to singe my raincoat
No longer protected
Putrid, melting plastic invades my nose
Your words burning my face
Burning my heart
Drowning out my voice
No longer beautiful
I began to corrode
I stand in the rain
Leaving wounds that will scar
No longer standing tall
I hang my head
As I stand in your rain
This is it, I want to say.
An acid rain falling each evening
and you, reading a poem
surrounded by flame – attendants.
Nothing moves farther than activism.
Conversation centers around the flares
on the surface of an orange sun,
a big hole coming up in the ozone layer.
You are an ocean, needs penetration
of inquiry. Running a relay race in
a big cage to keep the torch
burning. Clouds in the sky
objecting to full moon, coming up,
nonchalantly. Landscape rips – off
the ideas from the thorn
in the heart.
SATISH VERMA
Grey heavenly skies
in reaction to her hurt
clouds so different
In cry, falls, penetration
acid rain erodes her so

The serious Train De-railment in Ohio has led to toxic Phosgene and other toxins to be burned into the air. Phosgene known for use in World War 1 and killed at least 100,000. Now, wildlife, household pets, chicken, cattle and many fish are dying. Toxins are in the Ohio River that supplies drinking water to millions. This very serious situation is not getting the proper attention of the government or the main stream media
Update: Fema has said they will not help Ohio because houses were not destroyed!! Now, a man took a stick and stirred the stream water and every color imaginable surfaced from the toxins. On video. A parking lot of dead birds was found 350 miles away in Lexington KY. On video. The governor claims the DOD advised the burn of toxins from the train cars. Large plume still moving at 1mph toward West VA. I may need to write a blog about this. Very serious.
Update 2/19/23. A resident from the area reported seeing no wildlife at all. Another person reported from outside the area, seeing toxic rain on the windshield. Just like I thought. The large toxic plume is traveling slowly 1 mph. It is reported to be heading Northeast. Please check your streams and stir water to see if colored toxins surface. Also, please look at wildlife. Both these things will indicate toxins in the area.
Update: 7/2/24: Since this poem, toxins reached my yard ...with the snow over 500 miles from where they deliberately burned the chemicals. It sickened my dog and I, completely changing my life. The soil at my home was tested and proven to have the toxins from the train derailment. Also , orange slime landed on my tree in the rain and tested positive for Benzene. I documented everything. I wrote many poems and blog posts too. My dog died just recently after suffering and fighting to live. I have now lost my home too. The Govt did a huge cover up after they had approved the burn of the chemical filled train cars. But recently Wisconsin researchers including weather experts came out with evidence the toxins reached 16 US states in the rain and snow. This has been the biggest chemical disaster in US history. A travesty for many.
acid rain will fall
toxic chemicals in air
silence now deadly

Maybe a simulation only
Tsunami tells us the waves
Will eventually roar storeys high
The endless quarrying tells us
One day the mountain rocks start rolling
The flood tells us the rivers
Will penetrate into the cities like roads
Pollution makes the rivers feed on colours
Acid rain sheds the leaves bald
Deforestation makes the forests thin
And animals start shifting
Radioactive waste makes the fishes commit suicide collectively
Workloads makes people
Become pressured cans with stony faces
The skyscrapers poke into heaven Resulting in a bigger hole in the ozone layer
The endless oil mines poke into hell
Resulting in volcano eruptions
Internal wars and boundary wars are Only signs of men struggling
To survive the pre-doomsday
The thunder roars
Acid rain pours
Melting flesh off of bones
Of all those who roam
Broken and alone
They all pray for the sun
But
The end has begun
Twisted and sick,souls roam free
Preying on the young, innocent, and weak
Idle minds, they say are the best
Easier to torment than any of the rest
Easier to mold, and keep a good grip
Tonight shadows wander,looking for souls to rip
The thunder roars
As the acid rain pours
Stripped to the bone, left alone to roam
Forever in a world, now desolate and unknown
No life,No hope,No happiness,No love
Tortured until they forget all that ever was...
The acid rain pours
As the thunder roars and roars.
If the moon lights up the darkness
Let all scars be healed from pain
Let the stars shine in acid rain
I want to feel alive again
3rd place
When a fourth line helps it to rhyme

As Nissan cars drove through the bars they picked up Jesus who yelled out to
the populous HEY LOOK AT ME I’M FREE! And he was free to and God said
check in later, but go be who you want to be. Society cried for the souls they lost
wondering at what cost and the billboards lied and the fire hydrants said come
inside it is safe we will protect you from the fire and all the while I wondered why
you didn’t open your mind to find out what was real and what was feral and they
said with their pretty hair, their arms bare they’re faces full of fake care, eyes
wondering who was over there and are we safe in this place, she’s to wild for us,
we’ve had enough she’s crazy you see she knows who we will be we would
rather follow what they say instead of think! and the flowers screamed YOU
NEED A SHRINK but no one listened because we could only hear and feel so we
fell over in pain and it started to rain all the same and the droplets hit the ground
bursting into anger and hate it drew out our fate cracked the concrete as it fell
and dripped poison into the well. It’s a hard rain she screamed. ATOMIC RAIN!
Society screamed. NUCLEAR RAIN! they yelled and ran crashing into one
another over reacting once again over analyzing all the same and we watched in
shock as the riots were fought and in a whisper I heard the wind zoom by my ear
and suddenly I could feel right in wrong very strong but I forgot it the next day and I
forgot how to read and to write and spell and I forgot how to speak and to feel
and smell and it wasn’t until I forgot how to think how to open my mind how to
see what could rhyme what was fine and then my eyes glazed over and I broke
the window in front of me so I could see what I wanted to steal was not real just
tubes and spark plugs that would make my life empty but my mind was so
closed and my eyes so open that there was nothing left to tell me the truth so I
joined the acid rain riots and all became quiet. The end of the world took place
that day but we all keep living that exact same way.
Acid Rain
When I fall in love with you
I feel my heart is falling
But you've fallen for someone else
Someone who doesn't love you like I do
I see you falling for them one by one
But you're falling in a deep dark hole
I think you're blinded by what you see
And I know you'll never see the sun
Day by day
You cause me pain
Should I stop loving you
Why do I keep loving you anyway
You're burning
Through me
And my heart
Like acid rain
I wish that you could just see
How much pain you're causing me
And I still care so much for you
Even after all you're putting me through
Day by day
You cause me pain
Should I stop loving you
Why do I keep loving you anyway
When you're just
Burning through me
And my heart
Like acid rain
Is there something I'm doing wrong
No matter how many times I tried to stay strong
And everything I tried to hide
Is everything you should feel inside
Day by day
You cause me pain
Should I stop loving you
Why do I keep loving you anyway
You're burning
Through me
And my heart
Like acid rain
I don't know when
I've seen clouds this dark --- BLACK!
with white surrounding them entirely.
Got em boxed in. No place to go,
nowhere they can stretch out.
Mama says she has!
She's seen em so dark til
they looked like black
holes in the universe. Like spilled midnight.
"Wonder what makes them that way?"
I probed Mama, certain that she had the answer.
"It's because they're angry. Tired.
And probly curious. They wanna know
what's outside of those white borders
that has the sky so intent on
keepin them in?
Thinkin, 'surely there's space enough
for them both---cloud and sky! So, the tighter
the sky's hold on em, the angrier they get!
The stronger their will to go
beyond the borders.
And I dunno how dark they gonna grow,
nor, how long they gonna wonder
---But, I'm tellin you, Child
it's gonna rain.
