Rain

Rain crackles on the sidewalks As the thunder bellows and roars. Cars hiss by on the wet streets As fallen leaves soar. Lightning flashes in the clouds As the trees dance in the wind. Chills and goosebumps rise on my arms As the cold rain hits my skin. Birds sing in their havens As rivers form in the parking lot. Blades of grass flinch and twitch  As they are pelted by raindrops. Cars sweat and weep buckets As they are left out in the stormy weather. Puddles form in the mud As raindrops splash ripples in them together. The scent of asphalt and rain Fills the cool, humid air As God’s rain calms my restless soul And washes away my despair.

A Letter from Prince Gregor to King Knob

Dear King Knob,

We understand that you want to protect the unicorn and Pegasus populations, which is a noble endeavor. However, the measures you are taking to achieve this goal have gone too far and are taking a toll on both the ecosystem and your people.

For example, in your Unicorn and Pegasus Protection Act, there is a law stating that unicorns and Pegasus must be protected from their natural predators at all cost, and allows people to kill predators of the unicorns and Pegasus at the slightest hint that they will attack the unicorns and Pegasus. While this law has helped in increasing the unicorn and Pegasus populations, this same law has caused coyote, wolf, and winged cougar populations to hit an all-time low to the point where these animals are now threatened with extinction.

Furthermore, by disrupting the food chain, the unicorn and Pegasus populations have skyrocketed much too high. Because of the increase in Pegasus and unicorns, more Pegasus and unicorns have been eating our crops. As you are well aware, those crops are what we need to survive. The farmers have tried to keep the unicorns and Pegasus away by peaceful means, such as setting up scarecrows and scaring them away with loud noises. These tactics did work for a time. However, once the unicorns and Pegasus realized that the farmers would not harm them, they ignored their peaceful tactics completely and continued to devour their corn and wheat.

The farmers of these crops would be glad to protect their crops from the unicorns and Pegasus by using bows and arrows, if it were not for the first law in the UPP Act stating that no one is to hurt or kill any unicorns or Pegasus under any circumstance, otherwise they will be imprisoned or sent to the guillotine. If all the crops are devoured by these creatures, then we will no doubt starve to death.

Again, we understand your concern for the unicorn and Pegasus populations, but if our people are to survive and if the circle of life is to remain stable, then the UPP Act must be revised. People must be ordered to leave the natural predators of the unicorns and Pegasus alone, and farmers must be allowed to protect their crops by force if it is necessary. If changes are not made, then I am afraid we will have no choice but to secede from the Om Nomia Kingdom.

We hope that you take our concerns and our possible solutions into consideration.

Best Regards,

Prince Gregor of Ivory Province
