Downpour

Downpour

By C. Derick Miller

5/24/21

Sympathizing rain

Or reluctant visitor

The heavens release

Tears of renewal

Upon the ungrateful

Looking skyward

Angered inhabitants

Cursed sky

Covering of heads

Unaccepted offerings

Washing refuge

Humanity’s waste mound

Concrete and steel

Foul and filth

Life’s unfortunate byproduct

Did you dig it? See more here!
