Rain Dampens Those Words of Clay

I have woken in many a land

Many a shores that changed many a sand

But where does this all lead?

Moments pass and moments plead


Why be we the most wretched kind

A thousand years we inevitably unwind

The same history, its repetition present portray

But rain dampens those words of clay


Every day

Yes, everyday

How rain dampens those words of clay


The mirrors of our culture newspapers project

While some lonely poet these projections correct

Still we become our cruelest dream

As society merges into an ugly stream


Again poets write in tired words

Those suicidal lines for forgetful herds

Yet their emotions fail to achieve again

Because rain dampens those words of clay


Every day

Yes, everyday

How rain dampens those words of clay.
