This was no ordinary rain
This was God after an all night bender
pissed, paralytic
sending his urine down
until spent
overflowing rivers
inundating lives
leaving the stench of his binge
on the banks, reeking
wrecking years of effort
by those whose only mistake
was trusting in the mercy
of some unseen deity
whose methods are
somewhat suspect
and motives are beyond
human understanding
