Looking Down

There is an anger in the rain

Droplets come down to wash

The blood that a man drew in God’s name

 

Many times this has happen

Each man believes their reason is righteous

And though they’re wrong they are still forgiven

 

And sometimes as His tears fall

Washing away the sins of his creation

He thinks maybe, just maybe, it would be best to kill them all
