Day 145: On Rainy days

It's a rainy day
All the clouds are gray
Kinda makes me think today's
The day it slips away

I opened up my door
Behind the alley way
Saw a bum pissin on a wall
Cause he had no other place

Saw a man holding up a pipe
As it's body slumped to the ground
While the other end was pulled tight
Round the exhaust pipes mouth.

These are human acts
On a rainy day
When it seems the gods above
Forgot the human race

When it seems there's now where else
For them to feel safe
When the shit storm swirls and screams
On these rainy days.

And the grounds would swallow up
The hopeless in the streets
Where once they knelt with upturned eyes
Now a shower of debris

Where once they lay, a hoveled ball
In a feeble fetal pose
Now they pray the concrete cracks
Will swallow them all whole

Cause hope has gone
With the suns rays
And all that's left
Is dismal gray

These are animal instincts
Left in full display
These are purely human acts
Witnessed on rainy days
