Pleasures

Treasures

Lies

Spies

Who will prevail

Or fail

Let the Rain Come Down.

Juggling, like a clown.

Smoke and mirrors

And electioneers.

Distractions

Infractions.

Restrictions.

Jurisdictions.

Ideas among.

Bite your tongue.

Let the Rain Come Down.

Tumbling to the ground.

All politicians

Missions

Use the Frame

It's their Game

Sirens and a bell!

Screaming, Go to Hell

Let the Rain Come Down

Listen to the sound.

Negativity

Passativity

People's fury

Judge and jury

Complain

Insain

Let the Rain Come Down

    Hi. I’m new to this(literally my first day posting):) and I’m still exploring and learning about the platform. Randomly came across this poem. Loved this poem Babs. Felt the corruption and deception in society. Love the free style

  • Many heavy thoughts… let them all pour down! With the rain comes the truth… I feel it’s soon to come in torrents.

  • Bloody brilliant. Just about sums the world up RN. 💜
