Raindance
Plant the lifeless seed
In this frozen desert
Amidst the stampede of weed
And the tempest of dirt
Remember last summer
Before the tygers
We watch the sky soak in soft lavender
White angels dance against crimson embers
Now black devils ascend from fiery hell
Burning with thirst the Nile can’t quell
In their wake stalks sulphuric smells
And ashes whispering of the life they fell
Bring back the sparkling meanders
Or face the wrath of African dancers
“POUR WITH THE TEARS OF A THOUSAND HEAVENS”
I cried for the return of nature’s haven
The sky fissured as thunder rolled
As the fury of Oya took its toll
Hell gagged and gurgled from the flood
Vanished in a euphoric explosion of Grease and blood
When the storm began to mellow
Across the horizon burst forth a rainbow
The chestnut soldier rooted itself against the bridge of red blue and yellow
Branches stretched to resemble a holy cross
Rigid in the rubble of lichen and moss
I got this warm fuzzy feeling in my guts
And thought, “Oh God, I’m high on drugs”
Yeah, I got really bored during the 4th stanza and so decided to have some fun. So here it is in all its glory.
