Run, Rat, Run (Second Version)

Run, rat, run! Run as fast as you can. You must run to earn your bread! If you stop running, You will earn nothing And you won’t be able to get fed. Run, rat, run! Run early in the morning Or run late into the night. Either wake up before Mr. Sun Or wake up with the Man in the Moon For you cannot afford respite. Run, rat, run! You’re the best runner we have! The most successful racer by far! Keep running at this pace And you just might win the race! Thank you for giving us all that you are. Run, rat, run! What’s this? You want extra crumbs? Proposturous! Utterly ridiculous! You’re not even that speedy And you’re already being greedy. You cannot possibly be serious. Run, rat, run! Don’t slow down now Though you puff and you pant for air. If you keep running You will stop foolishly thinking That this life isn’t right or fair. Run rat run! Don’t stop now! You must run all day, all night long! If you really hope to thrive And you really want to survive  You must continue to run strong!...

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.
