Alien Rain
by Nat J

I am of an alien race
completely foreign to this
Damned world...
bitter because it has been
cheated of
Hope, Faith, and Love...
things which I have been
endowed with
This world tries to rob me
of my gifts...
pulling me into the eternal fires of
Hatred, Anger, and Envy
I avoid its desperate grasping,
but can do nothing for those
native to this misery, save
weeping a torrent of tears
that flood this world with the
realization that it cannot
escape its ultimate end
by manipulating my life...
The clouds burst, drizzling
upon my foreign head
uncountable centuries of pain
and a primitive hunger for survival...
Being that my origin is
not of this world
I do not share this torture,
still... I find myself
drowning in the deluge...
Damn this beautiful rain, falling from these alien skies...
Damn this beautiful rain, falling from these alien eyes...
