Raindrops
When God is sorrowful,
I shed through his eyes
As the glorious wails shriek
With all of his cries
Tension is released,
I fall slowly to the ground
With my dramatic style
And addictive sound
Umbrellas are opened
And your hearts close
Leaving me to plummet to the earth
Wherever the wind blows
To you, I am the enemy
I am known only to annoy
But you never stand outside and savor
My ignored and neglected joy
I want to land on your face
And absorb its exaggerated heat
I want you to feel the cold drip drop
Of me on your feet
You are too spoiled
You have never encountered true pain
Spend a day with the appreeciation I recieve
But you are too cool to just be rain
You humans are arrogant
You don't care about all of my magic
You don't want the comfort I offer you
So now, I've just had it
I won't keep your tap running
I won't fill your swimming pools
I won't run through your shower faucets
I'll make you humans look like fools
I won't fill the rivers
That quench your thirst
I won't water your plants
I'll make your life reversed
Without me, I will watch you
As the human race dies
I will evaporate into the air
I'll rise and rise
You'll wished you closed your umbrellas
You'll wish you appreciated me
You'll wish you realized the consequences
But you're dead, so we'll never see

It was Earth Day and it was raining. People outside were carrying umbrellas, and whining about the weather. Then, I was thinking what would happen if the rain got so tired of the lack of appreciation, that he just stopped raining. That is what inspired me to write this poem.
