rain pours down from the sky freely
colliding with tress and the ground
a blessing to some - a curse to others,
puddles of water appear in the streets
play toys for students home from school,
stomping and romping about, splashing
water on each other and those nearby,
flowers in the garden hang their heads
down in shame as the onslaught keeps
them from standing tall and the bushes
on either side of them don't seem to
care about what is happening... roots
swell to gigantic proportion, sucking
up the falling water that is not ready
to percolate into the ground and too
much water in the soil causes erosion,
and down from the heavens is falls
rather relentless and overbearing
casting doubts on those who would
be guardians and not know exactly
what is is they are supposed to do.
