Rain

Some rain
Never thought to hurt anyone
A few drops here and there
The heavens crying
Sun showers
In the humid air

Never before have I seen the floodgates of Hell open up
Water higher than the trees
Washing trees, plants, road, and cars away
Leaving destruction with each falling drop
Higher and Higher the water grew
Covering up buildings, creeping up the hill
Days later the rain stopped
The wind died down
The hell was over

Never before has rain caused that mass destruction in the area
People lost their homes, their possessions, their lives
Families broken up, hearts washed away in the flooding
The world around me destroyed
By more than a few drops of Rain
