Rain Dance

"We are gathered here today To fold our soiled hands and pray Heaven doesn't know how We play instead of toil" This is how you lie Betrayed by intemperance Indulgence inflamed the passions Here's the hair of the dog that bit you Dance to the sky Dance for the season Dance with your hands held high Surely now the clouds will send the rain Slept right through the spring and summer No special treatment, you latecomer No one cares how You tell yourself now that This is where you lie The face of indifference Reflections of your decisions Realizing your fall, hollow Look to the sky Look for a reason Look with your hands held high Wonder why the clouds ignore your pain Your benediction Rejected by the heavens when you Offered up the sacrifice of Cain Denial of your truest essence Solidify your evanescence This is why you find A barren land, bone dry Soaked the buried hatchets with The blood of murdered innocents This is why you hide Terrified if our eyes see you Write your name, ignoble savage Dances on the Graves of Betters This is why you die Necessitous, all alone
