The Rain of Mankind
November 14, 2012
In the night rain falls
Shattering stained glass windows
Clattering on roof tiles
Steaming in the fac’try smoke
Above gleaming skyscrapers
Nature feels no touch
No treetops does the rain reach
The green leaves do wilt
The rain is poisonous ash
Killing all in its dark path
Man-made metal bone
Like knives slashing through the sky
Decimating trees
Destroying all with iron
With fire colder than ice
The fire dies down
All nature is now silent
The ash has settled
Black as coal upon the ground
No more golden trees will grow
