Acid raindrops
are falling on my head
I get wet—
soaked by Mother Nature
there’s no escape
but I run anyway
helpless, wet, cold
all I can do
is run away
keep on my toes
and move on and move on
The fleet path of modern life
the disarray
of faith and hope and dreams
all passes on
like a peace pipe
but no answers
no solutions
to the violence, racism
hatred, bitter decay
we continue
to seek shelter from acid rain
in hopes of finding peace
