Why? Poem by Chris Noir

Why?

Rating: 5.0


A lonely cloud did roam the sky,
I wonder why, I wonder why.

And rain did fall amidst the field
And earth drank and it was healed.
And all who hungry felt the pain,
All went out and praised the rain.

A lonely cloud, the sky did roam.
Far from home so far from home.

And the thunder struck amidst the field,
And a poor peasant man was killed,
And all who prayed rain to appear,
All ran inside and hid in fear.

A lone cloud still sky did roam,
All alone all alone.

And the rain did fall and mixed with sand,
And made for soft and traitorous land,
And now peasants did begin,
To call walking in rain a sin.

A wisp of silent wind did blow,
And let cloud go and let cloud go.

And after rain there came the Sun,
And repaired the damage done,
Came the Sun and dried the land,
And dried the places of quick sand.

A ray of sun, In sky did shine,
I wonder why, I wonder why.

And the sun's rays came and dried the crops,
And peasants dead began to drop,
Praises that they had at first,
Turned to rants, The Sun they cursed.

A ray of sun did slowly fade,
To the shade, to the shade.

And they started to pray twice,
A day and sacrifice,
And they chanted and they prayed,
For rain to come and go away,
And lots of people they did kill,
to appease the weathers will.
But no matter how many died,
Or how much smoke did touch the sky,
Nature kept it's normal pace,
Rain and sun switched others place,
No matter praise or words of curse,
It's a random universe.

A lonely cloud did roam the sky,
There's only HOW, but there's no WHY!
