Rain Showers of Babylon

The people close their eyes

And listen to

The roaring thunders of the skies above.

These skies, so dark, so cloudy.

Saturated with pure evil and hate.

As they continue to listen . . .

Screams are heard from all around.

Mothers fighting to protect children.

Husbands trying to save wives.

Sinners, begging for mercy.

Rain showers of Babylon begin to fall.

No mercy on these people.

What does their destiny really hold?

As they look up,

The skies light up so bright.

And the people's fears get oh, so tight.

Monsoons of fire fill the sky.

Showers of nukes and missiles streak and scrape

The heavens above.

The rivers . . .

Overflow from these storms.

Filled with the bloodshed of those innocent.

Where has all the love gone?

The Peace? The Unity?

Hopes and Dreams.. Aspirations..

Just crushed.

Destroyed.

There is nothing left.

A poor, innocent child

Looks into the heavens.

She pleas . . .

"Rain, rain, rain, go away, come again another day.”

There is no other day.

There will be no other day.

This is the last day.

This is the final day.

This is the day of...

Rain Showers of Babylon.
